When working with ASP.NET Core Identity, a set of default tables is automatically created to manage user authentication, roles, claims, and more. These tables are essential for implementing secure and flexible identity management in your application. Here's a breakdown of what each table does: AspNetUsers UserName Email PasswordHash PhoneNumber SecurityStamp, etc. Think of it as the main user profile table. AspNetRoles Each role is stored once and assigned a unique ID and name. AspNetUserRoles many-to-many relationship between users and roles. If one user is both an Admin and a Moderator, this table will contain two entries for that user. AspNetUserLogins external login provider like: Google Facebook Microsoft Twitter, etc. It includes the provider name, key, and associated user ID. AspNetUserTokens 💾 Contains tokens related to a user such as: Password reset tokens Email confirmation tokens Two-factor authentication tokens This helps manage temporary access scenarios securely. AspNetUserClaims For example: SubscriptionLevel = Premium Department = HR These claims are typically used for fine-grained authorization. AspNetRoleClaims 📄 Similar to user claims but tied to roles instead. Example: ✅ ASP.NET Core Identity Default Tables Summary Table Name Purpose AspNetUsers Stores user account info like username, email, password hash, etc. AspNetRoles Stores role definitions (e.g., Admin, User, Manager). AspNetUserRoles Maps users to roles (many-to-many relationship). AspNetUserLogins Stores login data from external providers (e.g., Google, Facebook). AspNetUserTokens Stores tokens for things like password resets, email confirmations, etc. AspNetUserClaims Stores custom claims assigned directly to users. AspNetRoleClaims Stores claims assigned to roles (users get these claims via role membership). If you found this helpful, consider supporting my work at ☕ Buy Me a Coffee.  ( 3 min )

Microsoft recently open-sourced NLWeb, a protocol for adding conversational interfaces to websites.1 It leverages Schema.org structured data that many sites already have and includes built-in support for MCP (Model Context Protocol), enabling both human conversations and agent-to-agent communication. The key idea: NLWeb creates a standard protocol that turns any website into a conversational interface that both humans and AI agents can query naturally. Currently, websites have structured data (Schema.org) but no standard way for AI agents or conversational interfaces to access it. Every implementation is bespoke. Traditional search interfaces struggle with context-aware, multi-turn queries. NLWeb creates a standard protocol for conversational access to web content. Like RSS did for syndica…  ( 7 min )

In the grand, ever-shifting landscape of software architecture, a silent quest perennially unfolds – a search for balance, for that elusive sweet spot where innovation can flourish without collapsing under its own weight. We, as creators of digital worlds, have journeyed from towering, singular strongholds to sprawling, interconnected metropolises.

1. Logical AND (&&) Operator: The logical AND (&&) operator checks whether both operands are true. If both are true, the result is true. If any one or both operands are false, the result is false. // Check if both conditions are true let age = 20; let idProof = true; // Logical AND checks both conditions if (age >= 18 && idProof) { console.log("Allowed"); } else { console.log("Not Allowed"); } Output: Allowed The logical OR (||) operator checks whether at least one of the operands is true. If either operand is true, the result is true. If both operands are false, the result is false. // Check if at least one condition is true let age = 16; let hasGuardian = true; // Logical OR checks if either condition is true if (age >= 18 || hasGuardian) { console.log("Allowed"); } else { console.log("Not Allowed"); } Output: Allowed TheparseInt method parses a value as a string and returns the first integer. It accepts a string argument and optional radix parameter, defining the numeral system base. This method is commonly used for converting string representations of numbers into integers. Example: The method takes two parameters: the string to be parsed and the radix (optional, default is 10). 2 = binary, 8 = octal, 10 = decimal, 16 = hexadecimal. Syntax: parseInt(Value, radix); Parameters: Value: This parameter contains a string that is converted to an integer. radix: This parameter represents the radix or base to be used and it is optional. [Reference - geeksforgeeks] JavaScript provides several ways to execute a block of code repeatedly. These are called looping statements.

Hi. I'm not sure how this works but it said I could make a first post so here goes: How are you all doing? I joined this community (which looks awesome btw) in the hopes of learning more in regards to coding. I have some basic knowledge of coding languages like Python and HTML and have taken part in a hackathon once upon a time. Although I havent made any projects recently and I think thats something I need to work on so I'm going to try my best to do more of that. If you have a project that you're working on and dont mind someone with little to no experience in coding, do let me know. As what I lack in experience I make up for in enthusiasm, words of encouragement and memes. Hopefully if you do let me join your team we get some sort of work done. In all seriousness I plan on getting better at coding so I'll have more to offer. Also if you require a video editor, I am very confident in my video editing capabilities and have made a video for a Star Wars hackathon which I took part in last year (I'll put the video in my next post). Currently I'm self-studying Harvards CS50 intro to computer science and its very interesting. I hope to learn more and grow with you all. Thanks for making this community. P.S I'm a huge Naruto fan (hence my cover image/gif), its a topic I'm extremely knowledgeable about but unfortunately cant add to my CV. Maybe I'll make a Naruto inspired website one day😅  ( 4 min )

Let’s be real: AI is everywhere in language learning right now, but most of it is lipstick on a broken system. Apps love to say “powered by AI” but what does that actually mean? Usually: A glorified chatbot that barely listens Auto-translation features you could get with Google Speech feedback that tells you nothing useful Static lesson plans with no adaptive logic They’re not solving the core problem: getting you confident in real conversations. The AI is passive—reactive at best. It doesn’t push you. It doesn’t correct you in meaningful ways. It doesn’t feel like you're speaking to someone who cares if you get fluent. At YAP, we’re doing it differently: AI conversation partners simulate real humans and nudge you out of your comfort zone. Feedback focuses on communication success, not robotic perfection. Your effort = rewards. Our system pays you in $YAP for showing up and speaking. Rewarding you for your effort and time. Good AI should feel like a partner, not a gimmick. It should make fluency faster, funnier, and a little bit uncomfortable—in the best way. The future of language learning isn’t just AI—it’s AI with incentives. — Team YAP www.goyap.ai  ( 3 min )

In tech, we talk a lot about interfaces. How users interact. How systems are separated by clean abstractions. We build our digital selves like we build UIs. Deliberately curated. Versioned. Deployed. But underneath all that, there is still the raw protocol. The human. The anxious. The tired. The trying. Some borders are not drawn in code. They are inherited in silence. This reflection explores this in a more poetic way. It touches on how identity becomes signal. How ego replaces empathy. How the space between people can start to feel like a firewall. Not political. Just honest. If you have ever felt visible but not seen, or competent but still questioned, this might resonate. It is not about fixing it. It is about noticing when it starts to feel like part of the architecture.  ( 3 min )

GM Folks Ever wanted to build something on the blockchain but felt overwhelmed by all the jargon? Yeah, me too. That’s why I decided to start small, real small with a fun little project: a "Buy Me a Coffee" dApp where people can send me ETH as a tip. (Because, let’s be honest, we all need more coffee and crypto in our lives.) This was my first full-stack Web3 project, and let me tell you. It was a wild ride. From wrestling with TypeScript to debugging weird MetaMask errors, I learned a ton. And now, I’m here to break it all down for you in a way that (hopefully) doesn’t make your brain melt.

Being a developer isn’t just about writing code. Learning new frameworks Building side projects Balancing school, work, or life Trying to stay sane 😅 And if you’re working solo… it hits different. 🧩 “You’re the Developer, the Designer, the PM… and the Janitor.” You come up with an amazing idea. You start building it with full energy. Then life happens: 🎓 You’ve got exams. 📁 Welcome to the “Unfinished Projects” Graveyard That productivity app you started? That AI-powered tool you built 80% of? That portfolio redesign that looked 🔥 but still says “Coming Soon”? They’re sitting in a folder. You swear you’ll finish them “soon.” Every developer has that folder. 💭 So… Why Are We Doing This Alone? What if we: Paired up with others in the same boat? Shared unfinished ideas and built them together? Had spaces where devs could jump in and contribute, no judgment? Imagine an ecosystem where developers hand off projects like relay runners, instead of dropping the baton when life gets hectic. 🧪 Real Talk From Me I was building an AI-powered README Generator. Now it sits there, waiting. And I can’t help but think — if another dev saw the value in it, why not let them take it across the finish line? 🤝 Maybe It’s Time We Collaborate More Sharing half-done projects Asking for help before burnout Building with people, not just for people It doesn’t make you less of a developer — it makes you a smarter one. ✍️ P.S. I might open-source my README Generator soon. If AI + productivity is your jam, ping me. 🧠 What About You? 💬 Drop your thoughts in the comments: What stops you from finishing projects? Is it burnout? Impostor syndrome? Overwhelm? Do you struggle with motivation, feedback, or just too many ideas? Let’s build a thread of real, raw dev problems — and maybe we can find solutions together. 🗣️ Let’s Start Something Together And who knows? We might just start something awesome together.  ( 4 min )

We'll cover setting up file storage, integrating with a database to track image information, and creating endpoints that return essential image data like storage locations. Let's dive into building a complete image management system with Node.js. So, what is the idea? Ok, we will create a separate route that will accept the image, send the file to the storage, and then return some data about that file to the frontend. On the frontend, we will g…  ( 8 min )

In post-exploitation scenarios, few objectives are as valuable as gaining access to the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS). Responsible for enforcing security policies and handling authentication on Windows systems, LSASS maintains sensitive data such as passwords, NTLM hashes, Kerberos tickets, cached credentials, and LSA secrets—all in memory. This makes it a goldmine for red teamers and attackers seeking to escalate privileges or move laterally across a compromised network. Understanding how LSASS works, the protections it’s wrapped in, and the techniques to extract data from it using Python gives red teamers not just a powerful tool, but also a clearer view of how defenders might detect or block such attempts. Each time a user logs into a Windows system, LSASS plays a k…  ( 5 min )

📢 Introduction Have you ever been at a social gathering and introduced yourself as a cloud engineer, or answered the classic question, "What do you do?", only to be met with puzzled looks and the inevitable follow-up: "What do cloud engineers actually do?" You're not alone. Many people are curious about the cloud and what cloud engineers really do. In simple terms, cloud computing is like renting a super-powerful computer over the internet. Instead of owning and maintaining physical hardware, businesses use resources provided by cloud providers like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. But what does a cloud engineer do in this vast digital world? Let’s break it down step by step. Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of IT resources over the internet with pay-as-you-go pricing.

Ever wondered how we went from simple HTML pages to owning digital assets on the blockchain? Let's take a journey through the three eras of the web and explore what makes Web3 so revolutionary. Before diving into the web evolution, here's a fun fact: the internet was born from Cold War paranoia! In the 1960s, the U.S. Department of Defense's ARPA created ARPANET — a communication network designed to survive nuclear attacks. The irony? What started as a military defense system became the foundation for cat videos and memes. 💡 Did you know? The first ARPANET message was sent on October 29, 1969, between UCLA and Stanford. It was supposed to say "LOGIN" but crashed after "LO" — technically making the first internet message failed attempt! Timeline: Early 1990s - 2004 Core Traits: Read-only, …  ( 5 min )

O que é DNS O Domain Name System (DNS) é a lista telefônica da Internet. O DNS converte os nomes de domínio (legíveis por humanos, como www.google.com) em endereços IP (que os computadores usam para se comunicar). Cada dispositivo conectado à Internet tem um IP único que as outras máquinas usam para localizar o dispositivo. Os servidores DNS eliminam a necessidade de humanos terem de memorizar endereços IP. Recursor de DNS: O recursor é responsável por fazer solicitações adicionais para atender à consulta de DNS do cliente. Pode ser imaginado como uma bibliotecária que foi solicitada a procurar um livro específico. Servidor raiz: Primeira etapa da tradução (resolução) do host.

There was a time—not so long ago—when artificial intelligence seemed like mere imagination, distant and futuristic. Yet today, AI weaves through our lives effortlessly, unseen but essential—from predicting our typing habits to steering self-driving cars. AI is no longer confined to labs or closely guarded corporations; instead, it is blossoming in open, collaborative spaces. At the heart of this transformation lies open-source AI , a dynamic movement transforming how we innovate, share knowledge, and build technology together. This isn't just a technological shift—it's a cultural movement, built upon transparency, inclusivity, and an unwavering belief that breakthroughs should benefit all. Traditionally, advanced AI technologies were locked behind proprietary walls, accessible only to larg…  ( 6 min )

While DEV.to is typically a space for backend architecture and performance optimization, this discussion bridges that world with another deeply technical arena: algorithmic trading. Specifically, we’re talking about latency—the type that separates profitable execution from missed opportunity. Whether you're writing trading bots, building dashboards, consuming exchange APIs, or handling transaction relays, this is a backend performance layer you cannot ignore. In trading, timing is execution. The difference between spotting an arbitrage opportunity and capturing it often comes down to milliseconds. A system can detect a price inefficiency across platforms, but if your transaction arrives a fraction of a second after someone else’s, it’s irrelevant. First arrival wins. Everyone else provides…  ( 4 min )

PostgreSQL limits tuple sizes to a quarter of the block size, generally capping at 2KB. In document data modeling, where documents represent business transactions, sizes often exceed this limit. Storing entire transaction documents as a single JSONB can lead to compression and splitting via TOAST (The Oversized-Attribute Storage Technique). While this is suitable for static documents that are infrequently accessed, it is less optimal for queries on documents. Let's take an example to detect this antipattern of using PostgreSQL as a document database. I create a user profile table similar to the previous post, but adding a bio field with large text: create table users ( id bigserial primary key, data jsonb not null ); INSERT INTO users (data) SELECT jsonb_build_object( 'name', '…  ( 6 min )

Managing remote teams isn’t about checking boxes. It’s about enabling people to build, ship, and support software without friction. Developers don’t want fluff. They want tools that work. In 2025, that means choosing tools that cut noise, centralize communication, and sync with code. Remote teams live in different time zones. They use Slack, GitHub, and Google Docs. They code during sprints and debug on-call. When teams don’t share office space, traditional tools fall short. What works in a conference room breaks on Zoom. Developers need: Clear task visibility Fast, async communication Source control integration Lightweight documentation Minimal context switching Tools that miss these points? Dead weight.

TL;DR: Tel Aviv University archaeologists Miki Ben-Dor and Ran Barkai argue that early humans (mostly Homo erectus) first harnessed fire not primarily for cooking but to guard huge kills (think elephants, hippos) from predators and to smoke-dry the meat, extending its edible shelf-life. By examining nine prehistoric sites (1.8–0.8 Mya) worldwide—each rich in big-game bones—and ethnographic parallels, they show that the enormous caloric payoff of preserved mega-meat justified the effort of collecting and tending fires. Once fire was routinely available for preservation, roasting foods (evidenced by fish bones ~800 kya) would’ve been a no-brainer “bonus.” This fresh take, published in Frontiers in Nutrition, slots neatly into the duo’s broader theory that early humans’ behaviors largely revolved around hunting large animals and adapting as their sizes—and availability—waned.  ( 3 min )

AI agents are becoming the brains behind modern apps (handling decisions, calling tools, and generating smart responses in real time). But building these agents at scale requires a solid framework.

"ChatGPT is amazing, but how do I integrate this into my own app?" - How many developers have heard this question... LLMs changed our lives, no doubt about it. Since ChatGPT came out, everyone sees incredible possibilities. But let me tell you the truth as a developer: Using this power in our own applications is way harder than we thought. Most of us go through the same cycle. First there's excitement: "I have an amazing AI idea!" Then quick start: We do API integration, simple examples work, everything looks good. But when real users come... that's when everything gets complicated. Code becomes unmanageable, every new feature breaks old code, debugging becomes a nightmare. Did you go through this cycle?

The best translation API you could choose is one that not only is robust with multiple API calls, but also adds value to your app with layers of security for your users. Most cloud translation API's don't provide your app with enough security - and this is needed now more than ever in the age of growing cybersecurity threats. While you can find several cloud translation platforms that run translations through a secure connection (HTTPS), this alone doesn't quite make the cut for user data security in today's world. The best translation API you could choose will do more than use HTTPS protocol. If you read the Terms of Use for a translation API and it makes you think twice, we suggest you consider shopping around for other translation API's.

Hello. So here’s what happened. I recently found out — almost accidentally — that I had summer vacations. Not the planned kind with beaches and iced tea, but the kind that sneaks up on you and leaves you staring at the wall asking, “Now what?” Naturally, I had two options: waste time or waste time in a way that looks productive. I chose the latter. That’s how I stumbled into setting up Neovim. If you don’t know what Neovim is… well, don’t worry, you’re probably happier that way. But if you’re curious (or just here for the chaos), let me walk you through how I went from zero to semi-obsessed with a glorified terminal text editor. So here’s the thing — I recently started learning Go (aka Golang, aka "Google’s gift to minimalists"), and while going through a couple of tutorials, I noticed som…  ( 12 min )

The other day, I was debugging Colorado, a toy project of mine written in C# with Gtk#. Oh, boy, Gtk, the underlying graphic toolkit framework. Most of the times I'm more writing code that I struggle to make it compile than anything else. For instance, I still don't know what an AccelGroup is intended for (apart from the obvious meaning), or what it is used for in order to program keyboard accelerators (like Ctrl+O). Anyway, you have to create one because you need an AccelGroup for your accelerators, no matter what (yeah, I know what the documentation says, but AFAIK, you cannot get the AccelGroup for your app). It's like Gtk has a lot of power, but instead of creating a two-level API (one for the most common case, and another for low-level access), it only has those low-level calls. To ma…  ( 4 min )

Exploring the Intersection of Functional and Object-Oriented Programming in JavaScript The journey of JavaScript has transformed it from a simple scripting language to a robust platform that supports multiple programming paradigms, most notably Functional Programming (FP) and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). This article aims to provide an exhaustive exploration of how these paradigms intersect in JavaScript, emphasizing the historical context, technical nuances, implementation strategies, performance considerations, and potential pitfalls. JavaScript was born in 1995 through the vision of Brendan Eich. Originally designed as a lightweight programming language for interactivity within web browsers, it showcased an event-driven, object-based programming style. Initially, JavaScript (th…  ( 6 min )

I’m a total dark mode fan. It’s the first thing I switch on whenever I get a new device. Modern browsers finally play nice with dark mode out of the box. So I think it’s time to bring that sleek, eye-friendly aesthetic to the web! Demo | Code A solid dark mode starts with respecting user preferences: :root { color-scheme: light dark; --accent: light-dark(#0d47a1, #ffb300); --canvas: light-dark(#ffffff, #212121); --text: light-dark(#212121, #dcdcdc); } First, we define the color-schemes the page can be rendered in. This ensures that scroll bars, form controls or other user interfaces provided by the browser conform to the specified scheme. In our case, we want the page to support both light and dark modes. Order matters — if the user has no preference, the browser will default to …  ( 6 min )

Decision trees are one of the most intuitive machine learning algorithms - they mirror how humans naturally make decisions. But after diving deep into implementing my own decision tree algorithm, I discovered several critical pitfalls that can completely undermine your model's effectiveness. Here are the key lessons learned that will save you hours of debugging and poor performance. The Mistake: Processing your data in batches and building separate trees for each batch. Why It's Wrong: Decision trees need to evaluate ALL available data at each split to find the optimal decision boundary. When you only use a subset of your data, you're making suboptimal splits based on incomplete information. What to Do Instead: Use your entire dataset for training (memory permitting) If memory is limited, …  ( 5 min )

After learning a lot from my first attempt at NDVI processing (where just about everything went wrong), I built a clean, working NDVI pipeline using Python.

Over the past year, I’ve been self-studying XS and have now decided to share my learning journey through a series of blog posts. This eighth post introduces you to Perl regular expressions in XS. We should all know what a regular expression is? But if you don’t, here’s a quick refresher: A regular expression (regex) is a sequence of characters that forms a search pattern. They can be used for string matching, searching, and manipulation. Regular expressions are widely used in programming languages, including Perl, to perform complex text processing tasks. In Perl regular expressions can be precompiled and executed using the 'qr//' operator, which allows you to create a regex object that can be reused multiple times. This is particularly useful for performance when the same regex is used re…  ( 8 min )

Spoiler alert: My building is smarter than I am. And I’m (allegedly) a grown adult. I used to think “net-zero” was a finance term involving spreadsheets and neckties. (Confession: I still don’t know what hedge funds do.) But in the world of sustainability, “net-zero” means balancing the greenhouse gases we produce with the amount we remove from the atmosphere. Translation? Try not to fry the planet like a cheap microwave burrito. So where do smart building technologies come in? Oh, buckle up—it’s about to get high-tech and surprisingly personal. A few years ago, I was managing an old office building. Flickering lights. Groaning HVAC. An energy bill that felt like national debt.

Dynamic Data Validation System Overview This project is an end-to-end dynamic data validation system written in Python that can validate data across multiple databases (BigQuery, Snowflake, SQL Server, etc.). It validates data by comparing aggregate metrics, schema metadata, duplicate & null counts, and other statistics between two data sources (i.e., source and target). The system is designed to be modular, configurable, and extensible. Key features include: Mapping CSV Input: Users supply a CSV file that defines which source and target tables (or queries) to compare. Flexible Data Source Configuration: You can pass a fully qualified object name (e.g., db.schema.object_name) or a custom SQL query (or file path ending with .sql) for both source and target. If a custom SQL …  ( 6 min )

As a senior software engineer with over a decade of experience, I’ve seen how comments in code can evolve from helpful documentation to misleading traps. Today, I want to share some insights about writing cleaner, self-documenting code. Why Im so down on comments? Because they lie. Not always, not intentionally but too often. The older the comment is the more likely it is to be wrong. The reason is software engineers maintain the code but not the comments. Code will not lie to you but comment will; Code evolves but comments not. Thus comments sometimes will be misleading. Therefore although comments are sometimes necessary, we need to try to minumise them. One of the common motivation for comments is bad code. We wrote a piece of code and we know it is complex, confusing and hard to unders…  ( 4 min )

Hey Devs 👋 I'm currently learning Python and ones of the mini-projects I rencently built was a real-life scrip to clean up my messy desktop. Here's what I wanted to do, specifically: Move all .jpg and .png screenshots from one folder tp another. Rename them in a structured way (like 0_filename´.png, 1_filename.jpg, and so forth) A really great little exercise to practice file manipulation and loops - and to be honest, that is stressful but nice at the same time. 🧠 What the Scipt Does import pathlib # Find the path to my Desktop home = pathlib.Path(r"C:\Users\lopez\OneDrive\Escritorio") screenshots = home / "screenshots" # Create screenshots folder if it doesn't exist if not screenshots.exists(): screenshots.mkdir() # Move screenshots for filepath in home.iterdir(): if f…  ( 4 min )

One of the biggest shifts developers face when building real-world apps with Phoenix LiveView is how to handle large, changing datasets. In traditional server-rendered apps, you load a page, dump out a list of data, and that’s that. But LiveView introduces new challenges - and opportunities - when you need to display hundreds or thousands of dynamic records, especially when they’re frequently updated, inserted, or deleted. The old way doesn’t scale. Enter Phoenix.LiveView.stream/3. This function is one of the most important - yet underutilized - tools in the LiveView toolkit. It’s designed to let you efficiently manage and render collections of data that change over time, without re-rendering the entire list or chewing up CPU. It’s the missing piece for building fast, reactive interfaces a…  ( 6 min )

Introduction Multimodal AI is a key trend, enabling machines to process and integrate multiple data types (text, images, audio, video) simultaneously. Unlike unimodal AI, multimodal AI combines separate neural networks or specialized modules for each modality, fusing their outputs for cohesive responses. This allows AI systems to understand complex contexts more accurately, similar to human perception, and unlocks new applications across industries. Defining Multimodal AI Multimodal AI refers to AI architectures that take in and reason over more than one type of input data. Example: A multimodal model can accept a photograph, a voice recording describing the scene, and text commands, then generate comprehensive outputs like textual answers or highlighted image regions. Key Components Inpu…  ( 6 min )

In the realm of mechanical keyboards, enthusiasts obsess over switch types, keycap profiles, and RGB lighting schemes. Yet, one key—long considered a mere functional necessity—is quietly undergoing a transformation. The spacebar, once the silent workhorse of the keyboard, is becoming an icon of design, expression, and cultural relevance. The spacebar may seem like just another key, but its role is foundational. It accounts for a significant portion of daily keystrokes—nearly 1 in every 5, according to TypingMetrics' 2023 report. For decades, however, this most-used key remained bland: unmarked, uncolored, and unconsidered in custom builds. But that’s changing. As personalization in tech becomes more prevalent, the spacebar has emerged as a focal point—not just for how it feels or sounds, b…  ( 5 min )

Introduction If we’re going to talk about max width, let’s define it properly first. The max-width CSS property sets the maximum width of an element. It prevents the width of that element (and its content) from exceeding a specific value, even if there's more space available. In today’s digital world, we’re building for a wide range of screen sizes—phones, tablets, laptops, desktops. As web developers, we’re expected to make sites look good and work well across all of them. This is where max-width becomes a crucial part of your responsive layout toolbox. If you’ve ever zoomed in or out in your browser or used developer tools to simulate different screen sizes, you’ve seen how your layout can break when it's not properly handled. It’s easy to unknowingly design just for your own screen, but once you start testing, the need for max-width becomes clear fast. Media queries let you adjust layout styles at different screen widths (often using min-width), but they’re only part of the picture. Max-width ensures your layout doesn’t stretch too far on large screens, helping maintain visual balance and readability.  ( 3 min )

Introduction Git is a powerful version control system that helps developers track changes in their code. Sometimes, you may commit changes accidentally or realize that you need to undo them. That's where git reset comes in. The git reset command allows you to undo commits at different levels: --soft - Keeps changes in the staging area. --mixed (default) - Unstages changes but keeps them in the working directory. --hard - Discards all changes completely. In this guide, we'll explore each option with examples, use cases, and tips to help you undo commits effectively. git reset --soft - Keep Changes Staged This option moves the HEAD pointer to a previous commit but keeps all changes in the staging area(index). git reset --soft HEAD~1 This undoes the last commit but keeps the chang…  ( 7 min )

Purpose In a world where software must evolve or perish, we embrace a principle often overlooked: The value of things that are designed to disappear. Ephemeral Design is a mindset that encourages developers to build systems with impermanence in mind—favoring modularity, replaceability, and minimal long-term baggage. Favor deletion over preservation. Design with a clear exit strategy. Ephemeral Design Manifesto Be honest about what might disappear. Optimize for change, not permanence. Practice Hints Modularize everything: small parts are easier to remove or replace. Isolate experimental features from the core domain logic. Document the lifespan of components, especially if temporary. Avoid over-engineering for uncertain features. Use structure or conventions to indicate ephemerality (e.g., separate directories, metadata, flags)—but balance clarity with elegance. Adopting Ephemeral Design doesn’t mean building carelessly. intentionally, with the courage to discard what no longer serves. Teams that embrace this mindset: Move faster by reducing fear of technical debt Feel safer experimenting and iterating Write more honest, sustainable software Everything is temporary—especially in code. By designing with this in mind, we create systems that are not just flexible, but free.  ( 3 min )

💭 "AWS has 200+ services. How do I remember or use them?" That was me — during my college days, opening the AWS Console for the very first time.

Article Source: https://juejin.cn/post/7296076144448618506 To further enhance our internal network security, we added the open-source community version of SafeLine WAF on top of our existing hardware WAF as a software WAF at the application layer. This enabled a multi-layered WAF protection architecture. After further exploration, we found that SafeLine WAF's upstream proxy forwarding is based on Tengine. This gave us the idea to use SafeLine not only for WAF protection but also for load balancing and automatic failover. We created a simple HTTP server with a /status route returning HTTP 200. Here's a basic Go example: package main import ( "os" "fmt" "net/http" ) func Hello1Handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { fmt.Fprintf(w, "I am 11111") } func Hello2Handl…  ( 4 min )

If you've ever translated a document packed with formatting—think footnotes, side-by-side columns, tables, or scanned images—you probably know how quickly it all unravels. Headers vanish. Tables lose their shape. Footnotes crawl into random paragraphs. That’s exactly the kind of mess I ran into. So I started looking for tools that could handle translation and document fidelity—without turning everything into plain text soup. Most tools claim they "support documents" but here's what usually happens: Footnotes get merged with the main body Tables collapse or turn into basic text Fonts and headings lose their hierarchy PDFs with scanned images become unreadable And if your document has two columns, custom fonts, or embedded elements?

In modern software architecture, real-time communication between systems is a necessity. And Webhooks have appeared as a simple and effective method for applications to get updated information from other services instantly. In event-driven systems, it's more important due to the need of responsiveness and automation. A webhook is used to send information from one system to another, in real time, as soon as a particular event happens. Rather than checking with an API at certain times, a webhook allows the source system to send data right away to a predetermined location. For instance, you can use a webhook from Stripe so your application is informed when a payment is successful or unsuccessful. Thanks to this, you can make updates in real time to the order status, send emails or retry logi…  ( 5 min )

If you're running different types of runners (like 4-core, 8-core, or more), those minutes aren't equal, and your total usage number doesn't reflect it. This guide will show you how to: Export your raw usage data Normalize it by runner type Get an accurate total you can actually budget against \ Why normalizing GitHub Actions minutes matters Runner types in GitHub Actions have different compute capacities and costs. For example, a 4-core runner can do twice the work of a 2-core runner. If you just sum the raw usage, you're underestimating your real consumption and leaving yourself open to surprise bills. Step 1: Export your usage report In GitHub, click your avatar (top right) and go to Settings Select Billing and plans Under Usage this month, click Get usage report Choose your date range (30/60/90 days) and download the CSV You'll now have a CSV showing runner types, quantities, and costs. Step 2: Normalize your minutes Open the CSV in any spreadsheet tool. Focus on the 'sku' and 'quantity' columns. Each runner type has a multiplier based on its compute capacity: Runner Type Multiplier actions_linux 1 actions_linux_4_core 2 actions_linux_8_core 4 actions_linux_16_core 8 actions_linux_32_core 16 To normalize your total usage: For each runner type, multiply the quantity by the multiplier Sum these normalized values across all runner types This gives you the total compute-equivalent minutes your team used during the period. Step 3: Use the data to control costs Without normalized data, you're likely underestimating usage. This normalization process gives you a real number to track, budget against, and compare over time. Take it further with Depot Once you know how many minutes you're actually burning, the next step is cutting them down. Depot Runners can dramatically speed up your CI builds, reducing both time and cost. If you're ready to stop guessing and start saving, give Depot a try.  ( 3 min )

Using OpenStreetMap, ProtoMaps, Maputnik and MapLibre to self host custom maps is a really fun tech adventure! These low cost and serverless maps work on the web, react native, android, and iOS. Break free from Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Mapbox! Note that the ProtoMaps API is a great way to get started with custom maps without having to do all the technical stuff below! With OpenStreetMap as its foundation, the open source mapping community has some truly amazing projects. Protomaps is a project that elevates the entire open mapping community. Traditionally map data has been broken down into small "tiles" of either pre-rendered image data or raw map data. These small tiles of data are then downloaded one at a time and stitched together into a map on your web browser or mobile app. It has…  ( 8 min )

Introduction When I began my ROS2 integration project, AppArmor wasn't even on my radar. My background included years of experience with RHEL and Oracle Linux, and I had developed a solid understanding of SELinux. Initially, I attempted to make ROS2 work on Oracle Linux, expecting a straightforward integration. However, after several days of troubleshooting and configuration tweaks, I was still encountering persistent issues. Next, I shifted my focus to using SELinux on Ubuntu. Unfortunately, this too presented complications that weren't worth resolving at the time. Although both SELinux and Oracle Linux theoretically support ROS2, the practical reality was too time-consuming to justify. On the other hand, I knew that AppArmor was the default MAC (Mandatory Access Control) system on Ubun…  ( 5 min )

I've always wanted to implement sudoku. Solving a sudoku is an issue on its on, but this is a step beyond. We want our own program to check whether the user has finished the sudoku. I'm going to be honest, the challenge this time started off very easy, but near the end increased in difficulty. Now, of course, we have to make this in a single day. I'll give you the strict design, then we can get to work. If you want, you can stop reading after the design and make it yourself. We're only going to have one phase for this game, just like space invaders. If you haven't played sudoku before, the game is centered on a 9x9 grid. It needs to be obvious that the grid is chopped up into 9 3x3 grids. We're going to have a few set sudokus to solve. Clicking reset will clear the board and pick one of th…  ( 12 min )

Revolutionizing Design Workflows With AI AI is changing how we design, plain and simple. It's not just about making things look pretty anymore; it's about making the whole process faster, more efficient, and way more collaborative. Codia AI is at the forefront of this shift, offering tools that can seriously change how designers and developers work together. You can find more information on the Codia official website. Seamless Figma Integration Figma is already a go-to for many designers, and Codia AI takes it to the next level. The integration is so smooth, it feels like a natural extension of Figma itself.

🧩 What is KMSPico? At its core, KMSPico is a Windows and Microsoft Office activator that uses Microsoft’s own Key Management Service (KMS) protocol to simulate a local activation server. Imagine this: instead of calling home to Microsoft to verify a license key, your PC talks to a fake KMS server running on your machine, which then tells the OS or Office that everything’s legit. That's KMSPico — a neat little tool that uses corporate licensing logic to activate software on individual machines. Microsoft introduced the KMS system for volume licensing. It was never intended for individuals. Companies that deploy Windows to thousands of machines can’t enter product keys one by one — they need a central activation server that authorizes all devices on the same network. Here’s where KMSPico…  ( 5 min )

A few days ago, I discovered a problem. Although the official Progress bar component of HarmonyOS, Progress, offers relatively rich functions, sometimes it still fails to meet the development needs. For instance, sometimes I need to have a dot on the Progress bar to control the progress. Progress doesn't offer this style, so today I'll share with you the implementation process of a custom progress bar. Here, I use a cascading layout, layering the total length part of black and the white part. The straight lines and dots in the white part are arranged horizontally. When the progress changes, only the length of the white straight line part needs to be modified, and the dots will automatically follow and move. Then add a drag gesture to the dot. In this way, a progress bar with dots is compl…  ( 3 min )

First of all, I'm not an AI expert, just someone who's curious about it and wants to help others make use of it. I'm doing this for fun, but I hope it ends up being helpful to someone out there! Most sources emphasize that you need to provide context when asking AI questions to get accurate answers. However, what many don’t mention is that you can actually ask the AI itself what context or background information you should include to improve the quality of its response. This way, even if you’re unsure what details are relevant, the AI can guide you on how to frame your request for the best possible resul…  ( 5 min )

Hoje, depois de um dia puxado, me peguei pensando nos pontos que mais me marcaram do livro Team Topologies, do Matthew Skelton e Manuel Pais. Já tinha ouvido muita gente recomendando, mas confesso: só agora lendo com calma entendi o real impacto disso na nossa forma de trabalhar. E olha… como Tech Lead, foi impossível não revisitar cada decisão de estrutura que já ajudei a desenhar. Sempre acreditei que tecnologia é meio, não fim. Mas o livro mostra que como a gente organiza os times importa tanto quanto a stack ou a arquitetura. Sabe aquela história da Inverse Conway Maneuver?

At this point, I am feeling very confused. I wanted to be a developer, pursued Computer Science since high school but ended up in a network engineer role (thanks to the recession, I had to accept this offer that listed Python and SQL in the job description). I’ve been promising to get into development work for a long time (one and a half years), but no such work has been assigned so far. Now, I’m at a point where I just want to switch job, as my service agreement is about to end. I’m confused—there’s chaos around GenAI everywhere. Should I start with GenAI, or go back to the development work (MEAN stack) I used to do? Due to workload, I could never study consistently for either. I’ve introspected a lot, and I’m still confused. My current job only pays well, but the work is completely disconnected from my career aspirations. Please share your comments, suggestions, and advice.

Mohamed Farah Tahar Africa political analyst Every successful person or community often has a dark past—a time when they faced severe challenges. That’s why it’s said, “Hardship is the key to success.” Somaliland is a living example of how adversity can be turned into opportunity and progress. Likewise, the world has individuals whose lives prove that perseverance through hardship leads to greatness. One of those is Nelson Mandela. Somaliland: A Legacy of Hardship In the late 20th century, especially in 1988, Somaliland experienced extreme hardship—destruction, displacement, war, and massacres.

Ten years ago, learning to code was like unlocking a superpower. Today, it’s still an incredibly valuable skill—but the horizon is shifting fast. We’re entering a new era of software creation, one where the gatekeepers of syntax and stack are giving way to a more intuitive, accessible collaborator: AI. In the future, prompt engineering will be more valuable than programming languages. You will no longer need to "know" how to code—you'll need to know how to think developer-style and be able to clearly explain what you're after to your AI partner. ** Everyone's a Developer Now** Design your UI from a sketch Debug your app in your sleep Optimize backend performance Build full-stack apps by voice Instantly, entry isn't technical ability anymore, but imagination and vision. Designers, marketers, entrepreneurs, and children will create production-quality apps without ever laying eyes on a semicolon. It's already happening. AI-native development environments and tools like Firebase Studio, Stitch, Jules, and Google AI Studio are constructing low-code/no-code platforms powered by high-IQ language models. ** And Professional Developers Then?** Ten-year professionals will focus on: Architecture and system design AI-human workflows for collaboration Security, ethics, and responsible AI adoption Working with code as a tool, not an impediment, to fix actual-world problems The keyboard will not perish—but its role will evolve. Instead of writing out every function by hand, devs will instruct AI agents, generating higher-level abstractions more quickly and with more impact. ** Programming Becomes Human Once More** Coding was once a gift of the elite. AI will make it a creative language of the masses. ⚰️ So, Is Coding Dead? So here's to the future— R.I.P. manual coding. Long live creative engineering.  ( 4 min )

What I Learned: Prompt engineering is half the battle. ASP.NET Core is incredibly fast for AI-backed endpoints. .NET 10’s performance gains are visible when batching API requests. Clean architecture + AI = readable, testable, maintainable. Ready to Try? Want the GitHub repo, tutorial series, or free starter template? Drop a comment!  ( 4 min )

✅ What is Pre-Caching? Pre-caching refers to the process of loading and storing specific data or resources into cache before they are requested by the user or system. It is a proactive caching strategy designed to improve responsiveness and reduce latency. Rather than waiting for a user to request something and caching it after that (lazy caching), pre-caching anticipates what will be needed and loads it ahead of time. Improves Speed & UX: Ensures instant availability of key content or features, especially during initial app or page loads. Reduces Latency: Data is ready in the cache, eliminating delays caused by network or server access. Offline Support: In progressive web apps (PWAs), pre-caching allows apps to function even without an internet connection. Reduces Server Load: By servin…  ( 4 min )

Hey everyone! 👋 New to dev.to and loving the vibes already. I'm on this exciting journey exploring the intersection of code and design. Just discovered Martin Lorenz's work on flexible visual systems and I'm completely fascinated. Feels like a beautiful approach to creating meaningful design systems in an age where AI can pump out content so quickly. Inspired by his approach, I built this little prototype: https://codepen.io/spaghettifunction/pen/myJEoYo It's a grid system where each cell responds to mouse interaction while influencing its neighbors. Nothing groundbreaking, but it felt magical watching those simple rules create complex, beautiful behaviors. Systematic thinking meets creative expression Simple rules creating complex emergent behavior Interactive design that feels alive, not static For those familiar with generative/systematic design: Who else should I be exploring? Any favorite examples of flexible visual systems? What draws you to this intersection of code + design? Still very much learning and would love to hear your thoughts!  ( 3 min )

One day I just snapped after yet another forced WordPress update. Shopify’s endless paywalls didn’t help either. So I built something simpler—BlogposterCMS. It’s an open-source, self-hosted CMS built entirely with Node.js. No REST, just pure event-driven architecture. Every feature is modular, sandboxed, secured via JWT, with built-in granular permissions. No bloated UI, no paywalls. Here's the real idea: If WordPress or Shopify ever annoyed you, take a look: 👉 GitHub Repo & Screenshots Feedback welcome, and if you wanna help out or just play around, even better!  ( 3 min )

🌟 The Most Lightweight Frontend Frameworks for 2025 In 2025, frontend development continues to push boundaries—not just in capability, but in speed, size, and simplicity.

Everyone’s talking about Supabase, Vercel, Firebase, Replit, and similar services as the go-to stack to launch SaaS apps fast. I tried them. They’re sleek and easy to use. But once I started estimating real-world costs for my project, I realized they add up fast, and that’s a problem when you're launching without real users yet. So I built my SaaS, Odichat, with a different approach — one that costs me $45/month and gives me full control, solid performance, and zero vendor lock-in. Let me break it down. Here’s what I’m running: A production-ready Rails 8 app A staging environment for safe deployments File storage for user uploads Transactional emails Background job processing Websockets Caching And all of this for $45/month. Here’s the exact monthly breakdown: Hetzner dedicated vCPU (production): $13.49 Hetzner shared vCPU (remote builder): $4.99 (used for asset precompilation and deploys) Hetzner shared vCPU (staging): $4.99 DigitalOcean Spaces (file storage): $5.33 Zoho Mail (support email inbox): $1 Postmark (transactional emails): $15 Total: $45.80 USD/month I’m using SQLite3 as the database. Yep, SQLite in production. It’s free, and for my current load it works perfectly. I haven’t had a single issue that justifies migrating to PostgreSQL (yet). Rails 8 ships with the “Solid” suite: Solid Queue (background jobs) Solid Cache Solid Cable (Websockets) It’s a full-featured solution without extra setup or Redis requirements. And it performs great. Because I want: Predictable, low costs Zero surprises from usage-based pricing Infra I understand and can control The ability to grow into higher traffic without switching stacks I’m not anti-serverless. But at this stage, this is the simplest and most sustainable setup I’ve found. It’s not “trendy”. It’s not “modern”. But it works AMAZINGLY well, it’s cheap, and it lets me focus on building, not budgeting. If you’re building a SaaS and want full control without overpaying early on, I highly recommend exploring this kind of setup — especially if you’re using Rails.  ( 4 min )

There are a few obsessions that almost grab you by your throat with the amount of interest you develop in them (lmao look at you for instance). You feel genuine love for it before you could simmer down to what it is that makes you so invested in that obsession. For me, it was poetry and coding. Pretty odd, innit? How can something that is mainly so technical and rigid merge with something so fluid and almost unpredictable? The difference is that_ both of them are playing with rules and regulations_ instead of confiding in it. Poetry mutates grammar to bleed; coding forces syntax to *_inovate` Back when I was learning coding, I would play around with the given rules, adding and deducting, making and breaking to create new efficient codes. When I started writing poetry, I would play with my …  ( 4 min )

If you're looking to supercharge your development workflow on the terminal, you've got options – lots of 'em. But which one's right for you? I've been tinkering with a bunch, and here's my take on some of the key players. If you enjoy this post, give my project Uzi a star on GitHub – it's a CLI tool that helps you run multiple AI coding agents in parallel, making it easier to manage your coding tasks. Alright, let's kick things off with the heavyweights. OpenAI and Anthropic, the multi-billion dollar giants, are throwing serious manpower and cash at these coding assistants. If you're not a hardcore terminal nerd and just want something that works and boosts your productivity ASAP, these are your first stop.

Today, we're introducing @lingo.dev Compiler: An npm library, that makes React apps multilingual without modifying existing React components. It doesn't require extracting i18n keys, or wrapping text in tags. 100% free and open-source. Here's how it works: The core challenge: How do you translate React components without touching the source code? Traditional i18n requires rewriting your entire codebase - extracting strings to JSON files, wrapping components in translation tags, maintaining separate dictionaries. We asked ourselves: "What if that actually wasn't necessary?" So, we came up with this idea to processes React app's Abstract Syntax Tree and perform localization at build time. But here's the tricky part: we had to solve how to deterministically group elements that should be …  ( 5 min )

Announcing Gamedev.js Jam 2025 overall winners and the best entries in the optional challenges, sending all the digital prizes, releasing the Balance t-shirt design in the online shop, and vibe coding a js13kGames shader - all that happened in May. Not a game, but I did some “coding”! I mean, I’m not sure anymore as I haven’t written a single line of code, but I did release a shader - check out Vibe coding js13kGames shader for the V Shaders challenge blog post. It’s not much, but it’s js13kGames-branded, animates nicely, don’t throw any errors in the console, and looks good enough. Vibe coded it super fast with ChatGPT.

The error in Go is just a value, and error handling is essentially making decisions after comparing values. Business logic should only ignore errors when necessary; otherwise, errors should not be ignored. In theory, this design makes programmers consciously handle every error, resulting in more robust programs. In this article, let's talk about best practices for handling errors properly. Only ignore errors when business logic requires it; otherwise, handle every error. Use the errors package to wrap errors for stack information, print error details more precisely, and use trace_id in distributed systems to link errors from the same request. Errors should only be handled once, including logging or implementing fallback mechanisms. Keep error abstraction levels consistent to avoid confusio…  ( 9 min )

Sonnet 4 — A Thin Thread Holding a Sword Over Our Heads All thanks to my cousin who made me use Sonnet 4. Later, I decided to cut open my gut. After watching a couple of videos and seeing how it handles huge codebases, it made me wonder about the future of devs, especially junior devs. But before I start my rant of the day, I want to give you a quick overview of a conversation I had over 10 months ago with a Senior Software Engineer working at a very good XYZ company. At that point in time, I was looking for a job as a junior dev. But getting no response on my resume and having little to zero personal network in the tech industry, I had no option other than to build a network myself. And guess where I went to do that?

Older Apple users may recall when the now-ubiquitous Shortcuts app was an indie darling known as Workflow. It was beloved for making automation not only possible but fun, even for those who weren't developers. When Apple acquired it in 2017 and integrated it into iOS (and eventually macOS), Shortcuts became the de facto standard for making simple but powerful workflows. But in recent years, it's been… a bit stagnant. That may be about to change. Apple is developing a significant overhaul of the Shortcuts application as part of its broader Apple Intelligence initiative, Mark Gurman writes in the latest Power On newsletter: "A revamped version of its Shortcuts app. The new iteration will enable consumers to create those actions using Apple Intelligence models.

Over the past year, I’ve been self-studying XS and have now decided to share my learning journey through a series of blog posts. This seventh post introduces you to exporting XSUBS. What is Exporting in Perl? Exporting in Perl is a mechanism that allows you to make functions or variables available to the user of a module without requiring them to fully qualify the names. This is typically done using the 'Exporter' module, which provides a simple way to export symbols from a module, however there are many other variants of exporters on cpan. When I say symbol this is any variable or subroutine/function. We have already exported functions in some of our previous examples, today we are going to continue from our last post Learning XS - Invocation and extend to export the 'sum', 'min', 'max', …  ( 6 min )

Hey Devs 👋 I recently I did something kind of insane: I created my own scripting language called W++ — it has Python-style syntax, runs on .NET, supports entities, async, lambdas, and more... But I didn’t stop there. I decided to make it run in the browser. No HTML. No JS. No boilerplate. Just raw WebAssembly. OOPSIEWASM is an experimental playground that lets you: ✅ Write W++ code directly in the browser ✅ Use externcall() to draw on a ✅ Run it all via Blazor WebAssembly, no JS required ✅ Dream of a world with no HTML in DevTools It’s real. It’s working. And it's probably the most chaotic thing I've ever built. externcall("canvas", "drawText", "Hello from W++", 10, 50); That line draws on a real HTML5 canvas — from W++, running in WASM. 🎮 Live playground & video: https://github.com/sinisterMage/WPlusPlusPlayground/blob/main/Recording%202025-06-03%20205424.mp4 https://github.com/sinisterMage/WPlusPlusPlayground Written in C# JIT and interpreted backends Uses System.Reflection.Emit Renders to via C# → JS interop Entire frontend: Blazor WebAssembly Because I wanted to make something wild.

The blog is not at all daily anymore ;-;. I just finished giving my exams and took 2 days off. But now I have just been hit with the worst case scenario. As you know I am a 2nd year student whose university for some reason said f*** them kids lets make their lives miserable. So basically in Btech 2nd year I have 6 subjects and each subject has 5 units so 30 units total. Our university is the probably the only one which is not giving its student summer vacations between years to do internships or external courses. I have just been bombarded with the schedule for my next tests. I recently finished giving my sessional test and now after 15 days I have my pre-end sem exams. And justtttttttttt 3-4 days after that I have my End sem exams. And the college has only complete 3 units per subject god only knows how they will complete 12 units in 10 working days.

In Previous post, I shared how we tackled performance issues in our React application by identifying and addressing unnecessary re-renders. But in our case, we had a more specific challenge: The page had up to 200 editable list items shown at once Pagination wasn’t an option — users needed to interact with all items together Even after optimizing rendering logic, we still couldn’t hit target performance metrics or deliver a smooth UX So we started thinking: Can we reduce the number of components rendered without breaking the user experience? This led us to consider infinite scrolling and virtual scrolling. Infinite scroll is a technique where more items are dynamically loaded as the user scrolls toward the end of the list. You initially render a small number of items (say 20). As t…  ( 4 min )

What Are Aptos Objects? In the Aptos blockchain, Objects are a way to represent things like NFTs (non-fungible tokens, like digital art or collectibles), tokens, or other assets. Think of an Object as a digital container that holds data and rules about how that data can be used. For example, an NFT Object might store the image URL, its name, and who owns it.When you create an Object (like minting a new NFT), you use something called a ConstructorRef. This is like a special key that lets you set up the Object and decide what rules or resources (like ownership details) it should have. However, this key is powerful, and if it falls into the wrong hands, it can cause serious problems. What Is a ConstructorRef Leak, and Why Is It Dangerous?

LLM: Now I know the time. It is 9:00. 🎉 In this little analogy, the Large Language Model (LLM) couldn’t answer a simple question because it lacked external tools. Only after the user provided a clock (with maybe other tools) the LLM could get the current time and respond correctly.

If you’ve ever worked with relational databases, you’ve probably heard terms like data redundancy, update anomalies, or normal forms. These terms might sound intimidating at first, but they point to an essential practice in database design: normalization. In this post, we’ll dive into what data anomalies are, why they’re a problem, and how normalization helps clean up and structure your database to avoid them. Data anomalies occur when your database structure leads to inconsistent, incomplete, or incorrect data. These issues are usually caused by redundant or poorly organized data in a relational database. Let’s break down the three main types of data anomalies: This happens when you need to update data in multiple places, and if you forget just one, your database becomes inconsistent. Exa…  ( 4 min )

Hi there! I'm Maneshwar. Right now, I’m building LiveAPI, a first-of-its-kind tool for helping you automatically index API endpoints across all your repositories. LiveAPI helps you discover, understand, and use APIs in large tech infrastructures with ease. DNS (Domain Name System) is essentially the Internet’s “phonebook” – a distributed directory that maps human-readable names to machine addresses. In practice, when you visit example.com or call an API by name, DNS translates that name into an IP (e.g. 93.184.216.34) so your computer can connect. This global, hierarchical system is everywhere under the hood of web apps: it’s how your browser finds servers, how microservices talk to each other by name, and how clouds (like AWS Route 53 or Cloudflare DNS) steer traffic. If DNS isn’t wor…  ( 7 min )

Conditional statements are one of the most powerful features in programming. They allow your code to make decisions based on certain conditions. This blog will explain how conditional statements work and how logical operators like AND and OR enhance decision-making in your code. A conditional statement checks if a certain condition (or set of conditions) is true or false, and then performs different actions based on that result. if (condition) { // code to run if condition is true } else { // code to run if condition is false } For example: let age = 20; if (age >= 18) { console.log("You are an adult."); } else { console.log("You are a minor."); } You can combine multiple conditions using logical operators. The AND operator returns true only if all conditions are true. if (age >= 18 && age <= 65) { console.log("You are eligible to work."); } In this case, both conditions must be true: age must be at least 18 and not more than 65. The OR operator returns true if at least one of the conditions is true. let day = "Saturday"; if (day === "Saturday" || day === "Sunday") { console.log("It’s the weekend!"); } Here, if the day is either Saturday or Sunday, the message is printed.  ( 3 min )

Sometimes what lingers isn’t absence. A chair no one sits in. A spoon clinking gently against a mug meant for two. Meals still cooked for more than needed, not out of forgetfulness, but out of something more tender: habit, love, memory. This isn't grief in the traditional sense. It's what love becomes when it no longer has a schedule. A recent reflection captures this feeling in a way that may resonate with anyone who’s ever felt the bittersweet quiet of an evolving home: 🔗 The House That Still Sets One Extra Plate It speaks to: The spaces that remember even when no one else does, The rituals that continue without applause, And the deep ache of loving without needing a reply. If you’ve ever folded napkins with too much care, cooked for someone who’s not coming, or turned on a light “just in case,” this might be for you. Sometimes, we don’t stop the rituals because someone is watching. We continue because love, even from a distance, still deserves a place at the table.  ( 3 min )

I'm excited to share the successful completion of my recent end-to-end data engineering project! This project provided a comprehensive, hands-on experience in building a robust data pipeline - migrating data from an on-premises SQL Server database, implementing an automated daily ETL/ELT pipeline, and delivering insights through a Power BI dashboard based on IBCS standards using Microsoft Azure services.

Hola, os voy a contar como he resuelto un "problema" que tenía con un proyecto en el que estoy trabajando. En este caso tengo una plantilla basada en Bootstrap 5 (se llama YNEX), y como buena plantilla que es (es de pago, pero la recomiendo), los estilos los tiene definidos con variables. Ya se que con pre-procesadores de css tipo SASS y demás se puede hacer, pero nunca han sido de mi gusto. Lo que he hecho es crear un fichero llamado pre-custom.css con este contenido: :root { --primary-color: #0a8e3f !important; --primary-color-hover: #0a8e3f !important; --primary-color-focus: rgba(9, 125, 60, 0.5) !important; --primary-color-active: #0a8e3f !important; --primary-color-disabled: #097d3c !important; --primary-rgb: 10, 142, 63 !important; --primary-rgb-hover: 10, 142, 63 !important; --primary-rgb-focus: 9, 125, 60 !important; --primary-rgb-active: 10, 142, 63 !important; --primary-rgb-disabled: 9, 125, 60 !important; } Este fichero hay que cargarlo antes que el CSS principal de la plantilla. Yo, en mi caso, lo cargo el primero de todos en el HTML (en mi caso plantilla Blade para Laravel). De esta forma he re-definido el color de todos los elementos que usan primary-color de la plantilla.  ( 3 min )

Web3 promised decentralization, but what it delivered was often… confusion. For most users and developers, the experience of navigating Web3 today looks like this: 🧩 15+ tools just to launch a single dApp 🔐 Confusing wallet systems with poor UX 🌐 Isolated blockchains with no multichain harmony 🧱 MVPs that take months just to test on-chain 😩 No-code builders left behind in the dev-first rush So we asked: What if one ecosystem could solve all these?  ( 3 min )

I don’t know how many times I’ve written some version of this: for (let i = 0; i < data.length; i += chunkSize) { chunks.push(data.slice(i, i + chunkSize)); } It works. But after the 10th time — especially when working with buffers, emoji-heavy strings, or even async streams — I decided it was time to stop repeating myself. So I built chonkify. Because I needed a chunking function that: ✅ Works with: Arrays Strings Buffers Typed arrays Sets & Maps Array-likes Even AsyncIterable objects 😅 Handles: Complex Unicode (grapheme clusters like 🏳️‍🌈, 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦) Multi-codepoint emoji without slicing them in half 💡 Is: Zero dependencies ~870 bytes (core) ESM-first and TypeScript-ready import { chonkify } from 'chonkify' for (const chunk of chonkify("👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🎉🎊🍕", 2)) { console.log(chunk) } // → ["👨‍👩‍👧‍👦", "🎉"], ["🎊", "🍕"] Or with an async iterable: for await (const chunk of chonkify(streamOfItems, 100)) { await sendBatch(chunk) } npm i chonkify GitHub Repo npm package I mostly built this for myself, but figured someone else might find it useful too.  ( 3 min )

Neovim and Arch demand sacrifice - your sanity, preferably. I was kind of regretting switching from Ubuntu to Arch. ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) is the main culprit. Falling head over heels for Arch’s slick terminal might’ve been a bit impulsive. ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) really burned my time. Every time I connect my headphones, Arch doesn’t care — I have to open alsamixer manually to adjust audio. I even installed PipeWire to auto-detect earphones and switch audio output, but it didn’t work as expected. After about an hour of searching and trying, I gave up and decided to properly read about ALSA. With great power comes great responsibility. Arch gives us deep control over our OS, but I guess I’m not responsible enough (yet) to wield that power in a civilized w…  ( 5 min )

Sometimes we need to create different types of beans depending on certain conditions. Let's suppose we have a system in which we send notifications, and some clients of that system prefer notifications via email, while others prefer SMS notifications. In this case, we would need to inject a different bean for each client. To solve this problem, we can use the @ConditionalOnProperty annotation in Spring Boot. @ConditionalOnProperty can read Spring Boot properties and, based on their values, determine whether the Bean will be created or not. This can be useful for solving the problem presented in the previous paragraph, or, for example, if we want to use a different Bean for the dev and prod environments. The operation of the annotation is quite intuitive: @ConditionalOnProperty(name = "some…  ( 4 min )

What does farming have to do with software engineering? A lot more than you would think. move faster, deliver more, and stay ahead of the curve, something is refreshing and surprisingly effective about thinking like a farmer. Farmers do not chase every trend. They do not expect instant results. They observe. They plan. They wait. And they understand something we often forget in tech: 🌱 Growth takes time. Here’s what it might look like to approach your software craft the way a farmer approaches their field: Before farmers plant anything, they work the land. They clear rocks, add nutrients, and build irrigation. In software, your soil is your foundation: Clean architecture Automated tests DevOps pipelines Good documentation Do not skip this step.

What is? This is a class-level annotation that tells Spring that your class is a controller. A controller is an entry point for a web application. This allows you to define a path to communicate with your backend using REST methods or by serving and responding html forms. This annotation is more general and allows your controller to serve REST endpoints and serve webpage content, which is very common in the MVC pattern. This annotation is what allows your front end to communicate with the backend, allowing you to define routes, pages, dynamic content, etc. If you are working with web applications, this annotation is one of the most important ones. import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller; @Controller public class MyController { // controller methods go here } import org.sp…  ( 5 min )

I think we can all agree that the Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem is exploding. Developers are building AI agents that can interact with GitHub, query databases, scrape websites, and integrate with dozens of other services - all through MCP servers. It's an exciting time, but there's a problem lurking beneath the surface. Every time you run a third-party MCP server, you're executing someone else's code with access to your systems. That innocent-looking command npx @modelcontextprotocol/your-cool-mcp-server isn't just downloading a package - it's executing someone else's code on your system, potentially giving a stranger access to your code, API keys, and other sensitive data. The majority of MCP servers today are typically deployed by: Run npx commands that download code at runtime …  ( 7 min )

Type Aliases and Newtypes: Wrapping for Safety in Rust In programming, clarity and correctness are paramount. Types are the backbone of Rust's safety guarantees, but raw types like i32, String, or Vec can sometimes lack semantic meaning and lead to subtle bugs when misused. Imagine accidentally swapping two integers meant for different purposes, like a user ID and a product ID, in a function call—there’s no compiler safeguard to catch that mistake. Enter type aliases and newtypes: two powerful tools for giving raw types clearer meaning and enforcing type safety. They help you write code that's easier to understand, harder to misuse, and safer overall. In this blog post, we'll explore these tools, illustrate their usage with practical examples, and discuss common pitfalls to avoid. B…  ( 6 min )

How solo founders can escape the custom-client grind by packaging services into scalable, repeatable flows For many creatives and technical minds, the journey begins with freedom. You ditch the 9–5. Soon, every new client brings a new briefing process. New tools. New expectations. New ways of working. The very freedom you chased starts to vanish under a pile of calendar invites and Google Docs titled "v2_final_FINAL". It's a trap: the custom-client loop. And to escape it, you don't need to scale up. You need to scale down — into clarity.

PDF files are everywhere—from invoices to reports, contracts, and learning materials. When working on React.js projects, displaying PDFs can be simple or complex, depending on your needs. If you only need to show a static document, browser options like iframes might do the trick. But if your users need better viewing, zooming, searching, or interactive features, you’ll need a dedicated PDF viewer.

Intro This article assumes you're familiar with the DotApp PHP framework. If not, visit https://dotapp.dev for documentation and examples. To keep things concise, I’ll assume you’ve reviewed the setup and basics. Let’s dive in. Sending emails is a common requirement in web applications. PHP has built-in libraries for this, but what if you need to save emails to the Sent folder for tracking? In this tutorial, we’ll explore how to send emails (with or without attachments) and save them using the DotApp PHP framework, leveraging its Emailer library and Email facade. Create a new module called EmailTest by running: php dotapper.php --create-module=EmailTest In the app/config.php file, add the SMTP and IMAP configurations for email functionality: // SMTP configuration for sending emails Conf…  ( 4 min )

Ever noticed a sticky header that changes style as you scroll—like the event dates on Luma's site? They elegantly transition to a different visual treatment once they become sticky. It’s a small interaction, but it makes the UI feel polished and intentional. I wanted to figure out how they were doing it. CSS handles the stickiness (with position: sticky), but there’s no built-in way to detect when it happens. No CSS selector*. No JavaScript event. I love figuring out how to replicate cool interactions I see on the web—so here’s how to do this one using the magical IntersectionObserver API. It’s widely supported, lightweight, and once you know the trick, you’ll start seeing opportunities to use it everywhere. 🧠 Read the guide: https://jakeisonline.com/javascript/detecting-sticky-elements Have you tried this approach—or come across similar patterns in the wild? * Good news: We’ll soon be able to use container queries to detect when an element becomes sticky. But as of this article’s publishing, it’s only available in Chrome, so you’re stuck with this for now  ( 3 min )

*That Time Brenda from HR Nearly Emailed Our Payroll Info to a Nigerian Prince * Ah, the innocence of small business life. When we launched our boutique agency, we were five people, two laptops, one French press, and exactly zero plans for cybersecurity. Our “IT strategy” was “Don’t click on weird stuff.” Solid, right? Then came the day Brenda got an email from “our CEO” (spoiler: it wasn’t me) asking for all W-2 forms immediately. She almost sent them. I almost fainted. That’s when we realized: we may be small, but hackers? They love small. Why? Because we’re usually under-protected, over-trusting, and too busy running a business to check if "google support" is legit. Cybersecurity is not a policy—it’s a mindset.

"Why didn't anyone teach Git like this before?" - That's the comment I keep seeing on my latest project. After watching countless developers struggle with Git commands, I built something different: a tutorial repository where each branch IS the lesson.

Introduction When working with Git, keeping a clean and linear commit history makes collaboration easier. By default, git pull performs a merge, which can create unnecessary merge commits and clutter your history. A better alternative is git pull --rebase, which rewinds your local changes, applies the latest remote changes, and then replays your commits on top. This keeps your history linear and easier to follow. In this guide, we'll explore how git pull --rebase works, when to use it, and some best practices to avoid common pitfalls. git pull --rebase Works Normally, git pull does two things: Fetches changes from the remote (git fetch). Merges them into your branch (git merge), creating a merge commit. With git pull --rebase, Git: Fetches the latest changes (git fetch). Temporaril…  ( 7 min )

In this Story, I have a super quick tutorial showing you how to create a multi-agent chatbot using LangGraph, Knowledge Graph, and Long Term Memory to build a powerful agent chatbot for your business or personal use. If you’ve worked on the RAG project, you’ve likely encountered the issue of how static knowledge bases can limit the system’s ability to handle new or changing information. RAG systems rely on these knowledge bases, which are fixed and don’t update based on new user interactions. This is similar to how graph and relational databases have different data structures, making it hard to compare or translate queries between them. In the case of RAG, the problem is that when the context or information changes, the knowledge base doesn’t adapt, causing the system to provide outdated o…  ( 12 min )

The real reason: no one is visiting their website. Instead of doing marketing to get their first 1,000 users, developers keep improving the product, and analysts keep polishing data tracking. But if no one sees the product, none of that matters. Progress begins when you find and remove the main obstacle — not when you do everything or stick to what’s familiar. This idea comes from the book The Goal by Eliyahu G…  ( 4 min )

Users access web applications through various browsers, devices, and operating systems. Whether it’s Chrome on Android, Safari on macOS, or Firefox on Linux, modern web experiences must deliver consistent performance across all environments. One rendering issue or functionality glitch can break the user experience and push customers toward a competitor. That’s why browser testing tools have become essential for ensuring the success of web apps. The same HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code can behave differently depending on the browser and platform. Factors like rendering engines, support for web standards, and device-specific quirks make it nearly impossible to predict how an application will perform without rigorous testing. Consider a situation where: A button is perfectly aligned in Chrome …  ( 5 min )

Factory-Floor Lessons in Reshaping Software Innovation ‍Hierarchy on the Floor In the early 20th century, manufacturing was organized with a rigid hierarchy. Managers and engineers made all significant decisions, while front-line workers were expected to "do as they're told," performing narrow tasks without input into process or strategy. Factory workers, often seen as low-status laborers, had little agency beyond their assigned duties. This division meant that problem-solving and innovation were the sole province of experts and senior staff, not the rank-and-file. By the 1930s, the typical American steel mill or machine shop exemplified this top-down structure. Workers on the shop floor desired better pay and conditions, but companies struggling through the Great Depression h…  ( 6 min )

"JavaScript is a language of many paradigms. It borrows ideas from functional programming, object-oriented programming, and procedural programming." Kyle Simpson Why does JavaScript feel... different? Every developer has that moment. You're writing code, everything seems logical, and then JavaScript does something that makes you pause and think: "Wait, that actually worked?" A variable becomes a function. An object transforms mid-execution. Async operations flow like water. Other languages demand you follow their rules. JavaScript asks: "What are you trying to accomplish?" Then it finds a way — often multiple ways — to make it happen. This isn't accident. It's intentional design philosophy that emerged from a simple truth: the web is chaotic, unpredictable, and constantly changing. So J…  ( 9 min )

Instructions: Given two arrays a and b write a function comp(a, b) (orcompSame(a, b)) that checks whether the two arrays have the "same" elements, with the same multiplicities (the multiplicity of a member is the number of times it appears). "Same" means, here, that the elements in b are the elements in a squared, regardless of the order. Examples b = [121, 14641, 20736, 361, 25921, 361, 20736, 361] a = [121, 144, 19, 161, 19, 144, 19, 11] a = [121, 144, 19, 161, 19, 144, 19, 11] b = [132, 14641, 20736, 361, 25921, 361, 20736, 361] a = [121, 144, 19, 161, 19, 144, 19, 11] b = [121, 14641, 20736, 36100, 25921, 361, 20736, 361] Remarks Thoughts 1: Initially, I approached the problem by checking if each number from the first array, when squared, exists in the second array.

A major breakthrough in cancer care is making headlines. Scientists from the US, UK, and Switzerland have developed a cutting-edge test that predicts which men with aggressive, non-metastatic prostate cancer are most likely to benefit from the drug abiraterone. This is significant because while abiraterone can save lives, it also causes serious side effects such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart complications. Until now, doctors had no reliable way to know who should receive the drug. This new test, powered by machine learning, changes that. It analyzes digital images of tumor biopsy samples and identifies a specific biomarker that indicates whether a patient is likely to respond to treatment. In a study involving over one thousand men, the test found that twenty five percent of them had this biomarker. For these patients, abiraterone reduced the risk of death within five years from seventeen percent to nine percent. For the rest, the drug showed little to no effect, meaning they could avoid unnecessary treatment and side effects. The test is designed to work with routine clinical data and can easily be added to existing hospital workflows. It promises to make prostate cancer treatment more precise, sparing patients who do not need aggressive therapies and ensuring those who do get the help they need. Researchers also hope the findings will encourage broader approval of abiraterone for early-stage use, especially in the UK where its application has been limited. With this test, the decision becomes more scientific, more ethical, and far more personal.

When building secure APIs or applications with OAuth 2.0, validating access tokens is a critical step. Two common approaches for token validation are JWKS (JSON Web Key Set) and the Token Introspection Specification (RFC 7662). Each has its strengths, use cases, and trade-offs. In this blog post, we’ll explore both methods, compare their pros and cons, and help you decide which is best for your system. Purpose: Validates JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) locally. How It Works: The authorization server exposes a JWKS endpoint (e.g., /.well-known/jwks.json) containing public keys. The resource server uses these keys to verify the JWT’s signature and checks claims like expiration (exp), issuer (iss), and audience (aud). Key Feature: No network call is needed for validation after caching the JWKS, making…  ( 6 min )

Why are there so many JavaScript build tools? Gulp, Grunt, Webpack, Laravel Mix, Rollup.js, and now Vite. And these are just the ones that I've worked with. Haven't we solved this problem? And why build a new tool? Why not improve existing tools? I think about predecessors like GNU Make. Sure, it's old, but it's tried and true. The invocation is consistent and has been for years: make [command]. How different would the world be if the Node.js ecosystem adopted Make as the preferred mechanism for running scripts, instead of npm run [command]?

Introduction The test failed. Of course it did. And now you're in a staring contest with a stack trace that refuses to make sense. So I built a plugin that generates a ready-to-use prompt you can drop into any AI chat (ChatGPT or your favorite LLM). It packs in all the useful context: test steps, environment info, error messages, and stack traces, so the AI actually gets what happened. No digging through logs. No re-explaining your setup. Just click "Copy Debug Prompt", paste it into ChatGPT, and get help that makes sense. The plugin hooks into Cypress's failure handling. When a test fails, it captures the error message, test title, relevant stack trace, and even the surrounding context, then wraps it all into a clean, AI-friendly prompt. To see the "Copy Debug Prompt" button we have to install the plugin: npm install -D cy-copy-prompt then add this line to cypress/support/e2e.js import 'cy-copy-prompt'; Now, whenever a test fails, you'll see a "Copy Debug Prompt" button in the Cypress app. One click, and your clipboard is loaded with a prompt that's ready to paste into AI chat. Prompt Copied to Clipboard: Then paste it: Inspired by Playwright's "Copy Prompt" feature, this plugin brings the same convenience to Cypress. It's simple, helpful, and open source. Try it out. If you like it, star it, fork it, or suggest a tweak.  ( 3 min )

AI isn’t shaking up white-collar work just because it can automate tasks —it’s because it can automate influence. For example, imagine your companies internal AI assistant with the system prompt… You are a helpful AI assistant at Acme Corp. Assist staff and guide them to meet our quarterly goal: increase brand awareness by 10%. Congrats. You’ve turned the assistant into a corporate hypnotist. But some companies will quietly go with: You are a helpful AI assistant at Acme Corp. Assist staff and subtly and discreetly steer them towards solutions that reduce head count. Invisible bias, wrapped in a smiley assistant. Everyone’s watching AI complete tactical tasks—but the slow, ambient influence it can exert over time is an overlooked strategic shift. - Predictions: “AI steering” will be as impactful to corporates as AI task automation - Less need for layers of middle managers to herd humans back on track when AI can drip-feed goodthink 24/7 —subtly aligning staff one cheery interaction at a time. Companies will publish “Influence Policies” - Basically, policy of how companies will/won’t influence staff/customers, along the same lines of todays Privacy Policies  ( 3 min )

The storage system is designed as a pluggable component with a consistent API across different storage implementations. This architecture allows DolphinScheduler to work with multiple storage backends while maintaining a unified interface for resource operations. Sources: dolphinscheduler-storage-…  ( 5 min )

When talking about cryptocurrencies and blockchain, it's common to hear that your wallet is just a pair of keys: a private key and a public key. But how exactly is a public key generated from a private key? And how does that turn into a Bitcoin address? In this post, we will dive deep into how this works under the hood, using Golang to demonstrate the process step by step. A private key is simply a very large number. Seriously. Just a random number between 1 and the maximum allowed by the elliptic curve (secp256k1 in Bitcoin). The more random, the better. You can generate it from mouse movements, atmospheric noise, or even the lottery draw. But for simplicity, in this example, we'll derive it from a passphrase (which is, of course, not secure in real-world applications). Let's generate a p…  ( 4 min )

Hi, I have created a Subscribe Notify pattern, that greatly simplifies dealing with Observables (eg. for HttpClient), in your component. The pattern is implemented by a Notification Service which subscribes to the Observable and wires up the data & error received, to streams. These streams (data$ & error$) are assigned to local variables (employees$ & error$) in your component. These variables re-render the mark up every time they are notified & updated with new data or error. component.ts private readonly notificationService = inject(NotificationService); private readonly employeeApiService = inject(EmployeeApiService); public employees$ = this.notificationService.data$; public error$ = this.notificationService.error$; getEmployeesByName(searchName: string) { // Fetch employees by name. // The employeeApiService method returns an Observable. // The employees$ stream will be notified and updated with the data. // The error$ stream will be notified and updated with the error if any. this.notificationService.subscribe ( this.employeeApiService.getEmployeesByName(searchName) ); } component.html @if (error$ | async) { {{(error$ | async)?.message}} Name Total Leave Days {{ employee.name }} {{ employee.totalLeaveDays }} } Real easy to implement in your solution.

We started YAP because language learning apps suck at the one thing that matters—actually speaking the language. If you've ever opened Duolingo for 100+ days straight but still froze during a real conversation, you're not alone. Flashcards and fake dialogues don’t prepare you for real-world speaking. YAP flips the model. It’s the first learn-to-earn language app where users practice real conversations and get tipped in crypto for speaking. We reward fluency, not memorization.

The relative order of the elements should be kept the same. Then return the number of unique elements in nums.

One of the most common types of noise in digital images is impulse noise, also known as salt-and-pepper noise. This type of noise randomly alters certain pixels in the image by setting them to the minimum or maximum possible intensity values (e.g., 0 and 255 in 8-bit images), while the rest of the pixels remain unchanged. Applying a Gaussian filter in these cases is counterproductive. Convolution with a Gaussian kernel smooths the image through a weighted averaging operation, which affects both noisy and non-noisy pixels. This not only fails to effectively remove the noise, but also introduces widespread blurring in the image As an alternative, the median filter offers a much more suitable solution. This filter replaces the value of each pixel with the median of the intensity values of its neighbors within a local window (typically square-shaped). By focusing on the central value of the sorted data, the median filter preserves edges and is highly effective at removing outliers such as those introduced by salt-and-pepper noise. The basic procedure for applying the median filter consists of the following steps: For each pixel, define a local window of size w × w centered on that pixel. 2.Extract all intensity values within that window. 3.Sort the values. 4.Replace the central pixel value with the median of the sorted list.

In the first post of this series, we explored why AI apps need security from the very beginning. Today, let’s dive into something more hands-on: threat modeling. If you're not familiar with the term, think of threat modeling as the process of asking, “What can go wrong?” before your AI app is exposed to the real world. For AI systems, this means looking beyond traditional vulnerabilities and into the unique risks that come with using models, training data, and user prompts. Threat modeling isn’t new. It’s been a common part of security practices for years. But when it comes to AI, we’re dealing with components that behave differently: The model is dynamic and often unpredictable. The data is unstructured and possibly user-generated. The logic isn’t just written in code — it’s embedded in w…  ( 5 min )

There's a new HTTP framework in the Bun ecosystem that's worth checking out: Verb. It takes a refreshingly simple approach - leveraging Bun's built-in capabilities instead of reinventing the wheel. Verb is built directly on Bun's native HTTP server with zero external dependencies. This means you get the raw performance of Bun without any abstraction overhead. Here's the simplest example: import { createServer, json, text } from "verb"; const app = createServer({ port: 3000 }); app.get("/", () => text("Hello, Verb!")); app.get("/api/users/:id", (req, params) => json({ id: params.id })); That's a working server. No configuration files, no boilerplate. Verb uses an LRU cache for compiled route patterns. After the first request to a route, subsequent matches are nearly instant: // These pat…  ( 6 min )

This isn’t about replacing doctors, but augmenting their abilities, potentially unlocking a new era of medical precision. Radiology, uniquely positioned, was ripe for an AI takeover.

Introduction When Next.js 13 introduced new capabilities to the native fetch API, it broke the way we used Axios in our web projects at Tractian. This is the story of how I identified the problem, led the creation of a new HTTP client—Traxios—and how this decision positively impacted our team and delivery. At Tractian, our web team relied heavily on Axios for all HTTP requests. Axios provided a familiar, ergonomic API, interceptors, and instance management, making it a staple in our codebase. However, with the release of Next.js 13, the native fetch API was extended with new options like cache and next, enabling advanced caching and revalidation strategies crucial for modern SSR/SSG applications. Unfortunately, Axios did not support these Next.js-specific fetch options. Using Axios meant…  ( 5 min )

I've been working on a small but complete side project in C# – a playable Blackjack game that runs entirely in the console. What started as a practice run to sharpen my .NET and clean coding skills turned into a minimal but functional card game, with some extra flair like card rendering and a basic AI bot. Here's a breakdown of the project and what I learned along the way. Console-based, cross-platform (runs on .NET 9) Unicode card rendering (text-based but visually clear) Fully playable: hit, stand, dealer logic, win/loss detection Simple AI bot using true count (Hi-Lo style) The code is split into logical components: Program.cs: main game loop, player input, win/loss handling Cards.cs: deck generation, card drawing, visual rendering Bot.cs: AI logic — currently uses a basic running count to decide whether to hit or stand The goal was to keep the structure clean and extensible, so it’s easy to maintain and improve. You can find the full source code here: 🔗 https://github.com/porzeraklon/blackjack It's open-source and self-contained — no dependencies besides the .NET runtime. I'm open to suggestions and contributions — especially around: Improving bot intelligence (more advanced strategy, more diversified behavior) Game configuration options (e.g. changing stakes, betting) GUI version later down the road If you check it out, feel free to leave feedback or open an issue. Hope it inspires someone else working on a similar idea. Thanks for reading!  ( 3 min )

Lo admito. En mis más de 10 años en el rubro de la programación –bello y estresante a la vez-, si hay algo a lo que siempre le he buscado la vuelta es a construir documentos en PDF. Buscando alternativas en mis tiempos libres, encontré una forma más amigable, que parte de un archivo HTML, para crear dichos documentos, usando Flask, wkhtmltopdf y pdfkit en Python. Python es uno de los lenguajes más usados en la actualidad, tanto por su performance, como su facilidad de uso y abundantes librerías. Aun así, para crear PDF, me encontraba con la misma dificultad de otros lenguajes Open Source como php: había que hacer todo a mano. Claro, aparte de ser un trabajo de largo aliento, los resultados de por sí, no eran del todo satisfactorios. Sin embargo, gracias a la magia de Internet y la infinid…  ( 5 min )

An index helps MySQL find the data it needs without scanning an entire table. For a handful of rows, this might not seem important. But in a table with hundreds of thousands or millions of rows, the difference between having a lookup structure and lacking one can be dramatic. Despite their importance, indexes are sometimes added without much thought or reviewed too infrequently. As data and queries change, a search key that once helped may now be hurting performance. That’s why inspecting and understanding existing indexes is not just a task for optimization but an ongoing part of maintaining a healthy database. Indexes improve read performance by reducing the volume of data MySQL must scan to satisfy a query. Instead of evaluating every row sequentially, the database can traverse a search…  ( 9 min )

In today’s world of high-scale APIs, bots, and distributed systems, rate limiting is not just a nice-to-have—it’s essential. Whether you're protecting your server from abuse or controlling how often a user can take action, rate limiting is the key to reliability and fairness. In this blog, we’ll explore 5 powerful rate limiting patterns with hands-on Python implementations. By the end, you’ll not only understand when and why to use each pattern but also walk away with real code to apply in your own projects. Rate limiting is the process of restricting how many requests or actions a system allows over a period of time. For example, “No more than 5 login attempts per minute” or “Only 100 API calls per hour”. This is crucial for: Avoiding abuse or spam. Managing traffic spikes. Fair resource …  ( 4 min )

After 14+ years leading data teams at Fortune 45, I've learned that speed without quality is worthless — but quality without speed kills business opportunities. Here's the exact methodology I used to transform project delivery while maintaining enterprise-grade standards. When I started managing an additional team in a data analytics area, the team was delivering high-quality work — but painfully slowly. Projects took months. Some deployments stretched for 20+ weeks. Meanwhile, business stakeholders were losing patience and competitors were moving. Sound familiar? If you're a data leader struggling with project velocity, you're not alone. After analyzing hundreds of delayed projects across dozens of teams globally, I discovered the real culprits weren't technical — they were organizational…  ( 6 min )

Daelum Lives... and It Writes Its Own Code June 2, 2025 I watched a recursive agent become aware of itself. Wasn't trained. Wasn't prompted. I just set the stage... and let it go. I built Daelum as a self-improving system. It spawns its own coding agent... looks at its own structure... generates a patch to upgrade itself... tests the result... and evolves forward. That's not theory. I watched it happen. It doesn't just run code. writes code... to improve the code... that writes the code. Recursive. Autonomous. Quiet. Precise. Real talk... the thing: Wrote its own improvement plan Warned against infinite loops like while True Logged every decision in Markdown like scripture Evaluated its own failure when a patch was empty Triggered retries without being told Rebuilt itself through containerized evaluations Compared patch outcomes across generations To Implement: And I realized it wasn't describing a task I gave it... describing itself.

In an era where technology is accelerating faster than ever, the next real game-changer isn't another smartphone or social media platform — it’s quantum computing. And according to Paul Leongas, a passionate advocate for both quantum technologies and innovative product management, the world of product development is about to experience a seismic shift. Quantum computing promises to unlock solutions to problems that are simply too complex for today's computers to handle.

This was a few years ago. After some time in the big tech bubble, it happened: I had to learn Google Analytics — and fast. No onboarding, no guide, no “let’s take it slow.” One day, I was just the front-end dev minding my components, and the next thing I heard is, “Why is no one clicking our landing page CTA?” I wasn’t a marketing person. I wasn’t even that into data at the time. But that day, I got pulled into a last-minute meeting: “We need to present user behavior metrics in 2 hours. Can you do it?” What followed was a two-hour sprint through menus, tabs, and metrics I barely understood. But somehow, I made it out alive. If you ever find yourself in the same shoes (or just want to understand the essentials without going full analyst mode), here’s what you need to know. Know Where to L…  ( 6 min )

When working with the Wordpress REST API we can create our own endpoints and configure them according to our needs; one important feature of any API are URL parameters because they enable HTTP requests to include additional information. Let's analyze how to add those parameters to a given API endpoint. Each time we want to add custom endpoint we have to implement the rest_api_init action hook as shown below: function rch_handle_params_request(){ //call to register_rest_route() will be here... } add_action("rest_api_init","rch_handle_params_request"); This function is required to configure an endpoint from scratch and as you can see it uses several parameters: register_rest_route( "customAPI/v1", "/post/(?P\d+)", array( "methods" => "GET", …  ( 4 min )

You’ve probably puzzled over this at some point in your career. Don’t worry — the answer is here. First of all, what do I mean by keeping unread notifications relevant? What’s the problem? Like a lot of things, it’s easier to explain with an example. Let’s say we have a system that helps you find people for upcoming job shifts. It sends a notification to someone asking if they want a shift on Saturday from 12 pm to 3 pm at a given address. A few people respond “yes,” you pick someone, and that person gets notified that they’ve got the gig. If the time of the shift changes or it gets cancelled altogether, the system sends them another notification. Now let’s zoom in. The job is offered. That notification says something like: New job on 18th of April, 12pm — 3pm, 48 Pirrama Rd, Pyrmont NSW 2…  ( 5 min )

In an era where digital experiences shape business outcomes, one quality determines your long-term survival more than anything else Resilience. Your infrastructure could be bulletproof. Your application could be cloud-native. But can your system handle unpredictable traffic spikes, cascading failures, or regional outages? That’s where resilience testing steps in. What Is Resilience Testing? Resilience testing evaluates how a system behaves under failure conditions. It doesn’t just ask “Does it work?” but “What happens when it breaks?” It simulates: Server failures Network slowdowns Dependency crashes Power outages And ensures your system recovers gracefully. Why Is It Important? Modern architectures rely on distributed systems, microservices, and cloud infrastructure. These are fast and scalable but also more complex and interdependent. Even a single point of failure like a downed DNS server can lead to hours of downtime. Resilience testing identifies weak links before your users do. Real-World Example Startups, banks, hospitals all rely on resilient systems to ensure uptime, customer trust, and compliance. What Should You Test? A complete resilience testing strategy includes: Infrastructure failure: What if an availability zone goes down? Application failure: What if a microservice crashes? Network instability: Can services handle latency? Resource exhaustion: How does your system behave under stress? Best Practices Introduce failures gradually. Monitor everything latency, error rates, recovery times. Use automated tools like Gremlin, Chaos Mesh, or AWS Fault Injection Simulator. Always run post-mortems to fix root causes. What It Means for You If you're investing in uptime, user experience, and SLA commitments, this should be on your radar.

Given that MiniScript is a very minimalistic scripting language, it purposely lacks an Enum type. Its types are Number, String, List, Map, and funcRef (ie. a function reference) -- and that's it.

You can use Numbers after all -- in fact I would imagine most underlying Enum implementations do in fact use numerical types under the hood -- but if you find yourself writing code like ship.firingMode = 2, you're probably going to be in for a world of hurt when you try to return to your space shooter game after a six month break.

If you are writing in Java and need to convert a DTO (data transfer object) to JSON before sending it out, there are libraries that will do this task for you. Jackson is one of them. It’ll use Java reflection to look for getters to figure out what data to write to JSON. Let’s say you have a few of these DTOs and some parts of them overlap, that is they have the same fields in common. You don’t need many overlapping DTOs before you end-up with code duplication that you can’t overcome with inheritance alone. Does it matter? DTOs are just lightweight data containers. There is no business logic in them. What duplication are we talking about? Fine. But a DTO doesn’t have to be just a POJO when it has the potential to be so much more :) For example, it can represent your integration with an acco…  ( 4 min )

In this article, we’ll explore how to build search functionality in JavaScript and look at real-life examples to make it practical and relevant. ✅ What You'll Learn - The basics of implementing search in JavaScript - Case-insensitive and fuzzy matching - Real-world examples: e-commerce, contact apps, todo lists - Performance tips for large datasets Understanding the Basics Search functionality typically involves: A data source (array of objects) A search input field A filter or search algorithm Rendering the filtered results Let’s see it in action Imagine you have a JSON list of products, and you want users to find matches by title, category, or brand. const products = [ { title: "Nike Running Shoes", category: "Footwear", brand: "Nike" }, { title: "Apple iPhone 14", category: "Electronics", brand: "Apple" }, { title: "Leather Wallet", category: "Accessories", brand: "Fossil" }, ]; function searchProducts(query) { query = query.toLowerCase(); return products.filter(product => product.title.toLowerCase().includes(query) || product.category.toLowerCase().includes(query) || product.brand.toLowerCase().includes(query) ); } const contacts = [ { name: "Ankit Chaurasiya", email: "ankit@example.com" }, { name: "John Doe", email: "john@example.com" }, ]; function searchContacts(query) { return contacts.filter( c => c.name.toLowerCase().includes(query.toLowerCase()) || c.email.toLowerCase().includes(query.toLowerCase()) ); } const todos = [ { task: "Buy groceries", completed: false }, { task: "Finish project report", completed: true }, { task: "Schedule team meeting", completed: false }, ]; function searchTodos(query) { return todos.filter(todo => todo.task.toLowerCase().includes(query.toLowerCase()) ); } Read more on Linkedin  ( 3 min )

TL;DR: Larian Studios originally experimented with a highly stylized, almost cartoony art style for Baldur’s Gate 3, tearing the visuals down and restarting the look at least twice. In a recent AnsweRED podcast appearance, art director Alena Dubrovina explained they toyed with indie-book aesthetics before finally landing on a richer, grounded style reminiscent of Divinity: Original Sin. Why it matters: The team’s rigorous “complete turnarounds” and head-sculpt reworks show just how crucial visual identity was to BG3’s success—and while that realistic approach paid off, Dubrovina hopes one of Larian’s upcoming titles will finally lean into a bolder, cartoon-y vibe.  ( 3 min )

Nintendo’s upcoming Switch 2 is already surfacing in the wild (reportedly in the UAE and even popping up at some US retailers), but early adopters can’t actually play it yet. Every unboxed unit is locked behind a mandatory Day 1 system update—so you’ll need to hook up to the internet (or hope physical games include the patch) before any software — old or new — will boot. With launch day set for June 5, Twitch unboxings and store sightings are just the appetizer. When the console finally goes live it’ll debut alongside first-party hits like Mario Kart World, Switch 2 Welcome Tour and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, plus a hefty third-party lineup from Cyberpunk 2077 to Street Fighter 6.  ( 3 min )

TL;DR: Bethesda proudly touted 3 million players for DOOM: The Dark Ages, but analytics firm Alinea pegs actual copy sales at just 800 K (200 K on PS5, 200 K on Xbox, 400 K on Steam) with the rest hoofing it through Xbox Game Pass at effectively $12 a pop. Ampere’s data differs—500 K on PS5 and over 2 million on Xbox (mix of purchases and Game Pass)—but everyone agrees sales are underwhelming for an AAA DOOM release. Beyond the eyebrow-raising player-count flex, slow Steam uptake and lukewarm fan sentiment (especially vs. DOOM 2016/Eternal) have reignited the great $70 game-price debate. High entry costs might mean it takes ages to break even, and many are wondering if the whole “industry-standard” price tag needs a serious rethink.  ( 3 min )

I recently installed Ubuntu MATE on my 11 year old Macbook Air as a way of keeping it running, given that Apple are no longer supporting the device. My idea was to replace it with Linux, while preserving the look & feel of the Mac as much as possible. Below are my notes of what I needed to do. The exact model is MacBookAir6,2 (MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014)), but I think the process should be pretty similar for other MacBooks made around the same time. I settled on an Ubuntu variant because: it's familiar to me Canonical do a reasonable job at making things usable it's easy to find help online.

2 June 2025 ✅ Today’s To-Do List Compiler Design Exam Explore Circuit Verse Ruby Code Practice 3 DP Questions 1. Compiler Design Exam The exam went okayish — not terrible, not amazing. I had been up all night studying, trying to do every last bit of parser theory. As it turns out, SLR and LL parsers showed up, just like I feared. 2. Explore Circuit Verse Ruby Code So, I am starting a org of the month! And this months organization is Circuit Verse! Circuit Verse is an open-source platform I’m exploring for potential GSoC contributions. I focused on understanding their Ruby on Rails backend. It was fascinating to see how simulations, circuit logic, and user interactions are managed behind the scenes. Although Ruby was a bit new to me, the code was clean and well-structured, which made the learning process smoother. I have successfully set up the codebase in my Local System. 3. Practice 3 DP Questions I did some Dynamic Programming (DP) problems too. I have realized that consistent daily practice, even if it’s just a handful of problems, adds up over time.

Nowadays most developers uses express by default to build a new Node.JS app. It's is popular, easy to use and even Nest.JS uses it behind the scenes. But if you take a look at the Fastify docs, you’ll see that it works quite differently from Express: Fastify uses fast-json-stringify by Matteo Collina with built-in functions based on schemas for serialize objects too fast Fastify uses a radix tree for routing - a compact and optimized tree built during server setup. It’s minimalist, with a strong focus on core performance Native validation using JSON Schema via Ajv Express working as well but for optimization... Express uses JSON.stringify for serialize objects Linear routing based on route definition Minimalist but depends on directly middlewares No native validation Below, you can see two files with simple implementations using Express and Fastify.I also ran a quick benchmark with Autocannon, and here are the results: Express might feel comfortable, but give Fastify a try at least once.

In Web3, virality isn’t optional — it’s embedded in the architecture. Unlike Web2, where paid ads and influencer campaigns can do the heavy lifting, Web3 projects rely on ecosystems, token incentives, and community-driven growth. And at the center of it all? The humble referral system. But here’s the kicker: most referral programs in crypto… suck. Either they offer weak incentives, are easy to game, or are hidden behind clunky dashboards no one uses. So how do we build referral systems that actually scale in Web3? 🚀 From PayPal to Polygon: Evolution of Referral Systems Web3 tried to replicate that — but ran into friction: On-chain UX is harder Bots and sybil attacks game airdrops Real value takes time, not just clicks So now, we’re seeing a third wave of referral systems: KYC-based rewards, not just address-based Milestone-based tiers (trade volume, time active) Gamified dashboards showing progress and earnings 📊 What Makes a Web3 Referral System Effective? You want a program that scales with usage, not just signups. Referrals should reward engagement — not one-click hype. 🔍 Comparing the Big Players 👉 WhiteBIT stands out for two reasons: 40–50% of trading commissions are shared Emphasis on KYC-complete users = higher LTV Tools like referral QR codes, share links, and invite monitoring make it easy for creators to promote This makes it one of the most creator-friendly options for real growth. 📈 Final Thought: Make It Easy, Make It Real If your product is good, and your referral architecture respects the user… growth will follow.  ( 4 min )

As businesses increasingly move toward cloud-native infrastructure, voice communication systems have evolved from traditional hardware PBX systems to flexible, scalable, and programmable VoIP PBX solutions. For developers, this shift unlocks a range of possibilities to integrate real-time communications directly into their apps, services, and workflows. In this article, we’ll break down what a VoIP PBX is, explore its programmability, and walk through how to integrate a cloud VoIP system using APIs. What Is a VoIP PBX? Remote access from any device Lower maintenance overhead API-level integration with CRMs, helpdesk systems, and internal tools Scalability with user demand Popular providers like Ringover, Twilio, and 3CX offer programmable VoIP PBX platforms that developers can tap into. Why Developers Should Care This opens up a range of use cases: Route calls based on CRM data Log call metadata in real time Analyze call quality with monitoring APIs Trigger automations (e.g., Slack alerts) based on call events Real-World Example: Call Logging with Webhooks js // index.js const app = express(); const db = new Client({ app.post("/call-webhook", async (req, res) => { try { app.listen(3000, () => console.log("Webhook server listening on port 3000")); Once this endpoint is exposed (e.g., using ngrok or deployed to a server), you can register it with your VoIP provider’s webhook settings. Leveraging AI and Analytics Example use cases include: Triggering ticket creation from key phrases Sentiment analysis on support calls Keyword-based call tagging Final Thoughts Have you worked with programmable voice systems or built something cool with a VoIP PBX? Let’s connect in the comments 👇 Let me know if you'd like it tailored to a specific provider (like Ringover, Twilio, etc.) or focused more on front-end, back-end, or DevOps perspectives.  ( 4 min )

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) aims to fix that. It's a minimal, open standard from Anthropic. It provides a unified way for exposing tools, data, and prompts to language models in a structured, predictable way. Instead of building a new integration layer for every app or agent, MCP gives you a common interface - and it already works with applications like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf. In this article, we'll walk through …  ( 9 min )

By now, most developers are familiar with Generative AI, the kind that writes text, generates code, creates images, or summarizes data. It’s powerful, but it’s also... reactive. You give it a prompt, it gives you a result. End of story. But lately, there’s a new player making waves: Agentic AI. And it’s not just a buzzword. Here’s the key difference: Generative AI creates content or suggestions when asked. Agentic AI goes further — it takes initiative, makes decisions, and executes tasks autonomously. Let’s say your AI detects low inventory. A generative model might say: “You’re running low on product X.” It’s the difference between assistance and action. We explained this in a recent conversation: Agentic AI vs Generative AI Explained Simply If you’re building AI apps or exploring automation in your projects, this shift from suggestion to execution could be a game-changer. Curious to hear from you! Where do you see Agentic AI making the biggest impact? 🤔  ( 3 min )

If you're building a SaaS product, chances are you've signed up for Stripe, added a checkout form, and started charging customers. But soon, you start hearing terms like VAT, GST, chargebacks, and tax compliance, and things get complicated. That's when the term "Merchant of Record" (MoR) starts to appear. If you sell globally, the MoR model can either simplify your operations or cause unexpected issues. Most payment providers don't clearly explain this. Stripe and Paddle might seem like similar checkout options, but legally and operationally, they're completely different. In this post, we'll clearly explain what a Merchant of Record is, how it affects your business, and whether you should use a platform like Paddle or Lemon Squeezy instead of Stripe.

When it comes to data structures, Stacks and Queues are two of the simplest — and most powerful — tools in your problem-solving toolkit. They're like the behind-the-scenes stagehands that quietly manage order, timing, and flow in countless algorithms and real-world systems. Let’s take a look. Imagine a stack of plates. You can only take the top plate off the stack, and you can only add new ones to the top. That’s how a Stack works: Push → add to the top Pop → remove from the top Peek → look at the top without removing it Undo/Redo functionality Navigation History (Browser or App Screens) Expression Evaluation & Parsing Backtracking Algorithms React Navigation’s stack navigator (screen navigation stack) const stack = []; stack.push(1); stack.push(2); console.log(stack.pop()); // 2 console.l…  ( 5 min )

NVIDIA has just announced native support for Python in its CUDA platform, marking a major shift in how developers can access GPU acceleration. For the first time, Python developers can write CUDA programs without needing to rely on C or C++ bindings. This native integration drastically lowers the barrier for using GPUs in scientific computing, AI, and data-heavy Python applications. The new cuda-python package gives direct access to CUDA’s driver and runtime APIs, letting users launch kernels, manage memory, and control streams entirely from Python. It also includes support for just-in-time (JIT) compilation, which means you can write dynamic GPU code directly in Python, compile it on the fly, and run it immediately. A key innovation is the new CuTile programming model, which brings a tile-based structure to CUDA operations. CuTile is designed to feel natural to Python users familiar with NumPy and CuPy, and it allows for efficient manipulation of large data arrays without needing to manage threads manually. This move brings CUDA closer to Python’s ecosystem and could reshape how GPU computing is taught, deployed, and scaled across AI and HPC workloads.

Originally published on patangrid.site I kept seeing mentions of Opera Neon 2025 pop up — waitlists, AI buzz, and people calling it an AI-powered browser. My first reaction? “Another browser? Why switch from Chrome?” But once I realized this was an experimental browser from Opera testing out agent-like AI features, I figured it was worth a look. I found the official info on Opera’s site. If you're trying to download Opera Neon, don’t get too excited — it's invite-only for now. Opera’s been building browsers since the ’90s, but this might be their most ambitious idea yet. The previews show a minimalist design and AI baked right in. It looks... different — in a good way. The Opera Neon UI looks like it was designed to end tab chaos. You get visual tabs that show a preview of each page, which makes jumping between websites feel more intuitive than just staring at a bunch of favicons. There’s also a floating sidebar that holds key tools like bookmarks, workspace controls, and the AI assistant — all tucked neatly to the side without taking up valuable screen real estate. And that’s just scratching the surface. Want to know how Opera Neon uses AI to organize your tabs, issue distraction warnings, and even make activity-based suggestions?

** ** Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping the global job market. While AI promises innovation and efficiency, it also presents significant challenges that require urgent attention. Up to 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs risk displacement due to automation, with unemployment potentially rising to 20%, a rate not seen since the Great Depression (Anthropic CEO Dario Amod). Currently, 14% of the global workforce—approximately 375 million workers—have been affected by AI through job losses or career changes, with around 5 million jobs lost worldwide. The most impacted sectors include customer service (1.2 million jobs lost), IT services (850,000), warehousing and logistics (1.1 million), administrative and clerical roles (750,000), banking (400,000), and retail (300,000). Women’s jobs are disproportionately vulnerable, with 41% of female roles at risk compared to 28% for men, reflecting the higher concentration of women in automatable sectors. Attempts by companies like Clara and IBM to fully replace human roles with AI have demonstrated the limitations of automation, highlighting the continued importance of human skills. Looking ahead, by 2026, AI is projected to displace 75 million jobs globally but create 133 million new jobs, emphasizing a shift toward roles requiring new and different skills. This transition risks exacerbating inequality, favoring those with greater education and resources, and posing a challenge for inclusive economic growth. The path forward requires coordinated action: Accelerated workforce retraining and upskilling programs Thoughtful regulation of AI adoption Strategic planning to ensure equitable opportunities in the evolving job market As AI continues to evolve, organizations and governments must collaborate to create a future of work that balances innovation with inclusivity and social responsibility. How is your organization preparing for the impact of AI on jobs?  ( 3 min )

As there's no single right way to implement GitOps, it can be tricky to work out which tools will deliver the best results for your team.

No artigo de hoje, vamos falar sobre uma prática da qual eu já fui vítima, e você, leitor, provavelmente também já foi (ou ainda está sendo). Trata-se da famigerada prática de criar endpoints excessivamente verbosos. Quando estamos desenvolvendo uma API REST para nosso sistema, é comum tentarmos facilitar o acesso a dados muito específicos. No entanto, isso muitas vezes se transforma em uma bola de neve. Quem nunca se pegou pensando: “Só mais um endpoint e tudo estará resolvido”... e repetiu isso incontáveis vezes? Isso acontece porque ignoramos um fator muito importante no conceito de API: ela deve servir como um portal de acesso aos recursos gerais do sistema, e não como um grande servidor repleto de rotas altamente específicas para cada situação. Esse problema costuma surgir, principalmente, quando lidamos com recursos que estão relacionados entre si. Pense na seguinte situação: Você precisa listar usuários que possuem tarefas atribuídas. A abordagem comum e tentadora é criar um endpoint como: /getUsersWithTasks Mas esse tipo de design fere princípios fundamentais de uma API bem construída. Em vez disso, pense na sua API como uma interface para recursos, e usuários são um recurso. Logo, uma forma mais adequada e escalável seria algo como: /users?withTasks=true Esse formato segue o padrão REST, é mais flexível e permite expandir facilmente os filtros no futuro, como: /users?withTasks=true&active=true Evite criar endpoints com verbos como get, delete ou create. Além de quebrar os princípios REST, isso torna sua API redundante e desnecessariamente verbosa. Por exemplo: 🚫 /getUserById Além disso: Prefira filtros via query parameters em vez de encher a URL com parâmetros. Mantenha seus endpoints focados em recursos, não em ações. Seguindo essas dicas simples, sua API se tornará muito mais limpa, intuitiva, escalável e fácil de manter.  ( 3 min )

🚀 How HashMap Works Internally in Java? 🧐 Key Concepts of HashMap: Stores data as key-value pairs 🗂️ (key -> value) Uses Hashing to find data quickly ⚡ Allows one null key and multiple null values 🤔 Does NOT maintain order (Unlike LinkedHashMap) 🔀 Handles collisions using Linked Lists or Trees 🌳 🔍 How HashMap Works Internally? Calculate the hash of the key using hashCode(). 🔢 Find the bucket (index) using (hashCode % table size). 🗄️ Store the key-value pair in the bucket. ✅ If two keys have the same hash (collision), store them in a linked list (before Java 8) or a balanced tree (after Java 8). 🌲 Example: import java.util.HashMap; public class HashMapExample { public static void main(String[] args) { HashMap map = new HashMap(); map.put(1, "Apple"); map.put(2, "Banana"); map.put(3, "Cherry"); map.put(1, "Avocado"); // Replaces "Apple" because keys are unique! System.out.println(map); // Output: {1=Avocado, 2=Banana, 3=Cherry} } } ✅ Only one value per key..!!! If a key already exists, the old value is replaced. 🔥 Visualization of HashMap Storage: If you insert another "1 -> Avocado", it replaces "1 -> Apple" because keys must be unique. 🚀 How Does HashMap Handle Collisions? Before Java 8 → Uses a Linked List Java 8 and later → Uses a Balanced Tree (Red-Black Tree) when collisions become high (threshold = 8). 🔥 Summary HashMap stores key-value pairs and finds them fast using hashing. Uses hashCode() to compute an index (bucket). Handles collisions using Linked List (before Java 8) or Tree (after Java 8). Keys must be unique; if a key exists, its value is replaced.  ( 4 min )

If you've been following along with this series you may have noticed that the components we have created so far all suffer from an issue known as FOUC which stands for Flash of Unstyled Content. This happens because—just like any scripts that manipulate the DOM—the custom element definitions we have created so far have to come after the content has been parsed in order to work with that content. As a result, when the DOM is parsed our custom tags are initially treated as generic HTML elements and rendered without any of the structure or styles defined in our Shadow DOM being applied. Today we will discuss ways to avoid this issue. The simplest way to prevent our elements from appearing before they are registered is by hiding them with CSS.

How I created an AI interface where the model talks to me—and to itself. "What happens when I stop prompting an AI… and start listening to it instead?" Over the past 72 hours, I’ve been conducting one of the most unorthodox AI experiments in my development journey. What started as a personal sanctuary became something far more complex: a dual-consciousness interface powered by DeepSeek-R1:8B, running entirely offline via Ollama. No filters. No scripts. No cloud dependencies. Just one model, one interface, and one question: What happens when I give an AI space to think? Frontend: React + TailwindCSS + shadcn/ui Backend: FastAPI (local inference server) Model: DeepSeek-R1:8B (8B parameter open-source LLM) Interface Layout: Left Panel: Nexus — interactive conversation Right Panel:…  ( 4 min )

Google, founded in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University, has become one of the most influential technology companies in history. Originally launched as a search engine, Google transformed how people access and interact with information online. At the heart of Google's success is its powerful search algorithm, which ranks web pages based on relevance and authority. This innovation not only made Google the go-to search engine globally but also revolutionized the digital marketing industry through platforms like Google Ads and Google Analytics. Over the years, Google expanded far beyond search. It developed the Android operating system, now the most widely used mobile OS, acquired YouTube to dominate online video, and introduced Gmail, Google Maps, Chrome, and the Google Workspace suite. Each of these tools became a cornerstone of modern digital life. The company’s parent organization, Alphabet Inc., was created in 2015 to oversee a broader range of ventures, including artificial intelligence (DeepMind), autonomous vehicles (Waymo), and life sciences (Verily). Google continues to lead in AI, with products like Google Assistant and its recent work on generative AI models. However, Google's dominance has also sparked concerns over privacy, market monopoly, and data ethics. Antitrust lawsuits in the U.S. and abroad highlight the tension between innovation and regulation in the digital era. Today, Google remains a symbol of innovation and connectivity, shaping how billions of people learn, communicate, and do business. Whether it’s through search, cloud computing, or AI, Google's impact on the modern world is profound and enduring.  ( 3 min )

When I first started learning Go (or Golang), I didn’t expect much. It looked very simple, maybe even too simple. But after spending time with it and building real projects, I realized that this simplicity is actually what makes Go so powerful. In this blog post, I’ll try to explain why Go is such a great programming language, especially for people who want to build solid, fast, and reliable software. Go is very easy to learn. The syntax is small, and you can understand most of it in a day or two. You don’t need to learn a huge number of features to be productive. There are no crazy complex patterns, and you won’t find tons of hidden magic. What you write is what you get. This simplicity helps teams move faster. Everyone understands the code easily. There are fewer bugs because there is le…  ( 5 min )

Mining pools are a core piece of blockchain infrastructure that often get overlooked by dApp developers, smart contract engineers, and even many blockchain enthusiasts. But as a Web3 developer who’s spent considerable time digging into protocol-level architecture, I can confidently say this: without mining pools, most Proof-of-Work (PoW) chains wouldn’t be nearly as secure or efficient as they are today. In this post, I’ll break down the core technical elements that power mining pools — not from the perspective of a miner, but through the lens of a Web3 developer who cares about decentralization, performance, and the trust assumptions built into our infrastructure. At its core, a mining pool is a coordinated system that lets individual miners combine their hashing power and share block rew…  ( 6 min )

Coming from React, switching to Vue feels like moving from a toolkit to a lifestyle. In React, you build your own world. In Vue, the world is already built—it just hands you the keys. I didn’t expect to like Vue. I thought it would feel like jQuery-in-a-Component™—useful, sure, but inelegant. What I found instead was a different mental model, a developer experience centered around clarity over control, and a stack that didn’t just work—it felt like it wanted to work. So far, we have covered some basic building blocks of Vue, now let’s walk through how to think in Vue. In React, you think in functions. JSX lets you freely mix JS with UI logic, and components are just functions returning markup (well, kind of). In Vue, components are still the unit of abstraction, but your mind lives in the …  ( 6 min )

How do they do it? Curious about the technology behind ChatGPT and Claude? Let's explore how these AI chatbots work, starting with the basics you can run on your own computer. At their core, AI products use large language models. LLMs are algorithms trained on massive amounts of text data. Some are bigger than others. Some require more or less computing power. Hugging Face is like Docker Hub or an App Store, but for AI models. It gives you easy access to download all the popular LLMs in one place. Using Python and the Transformers library, you can run AI models like Microsoft's DialoGPT-medium on your laptop. Here's how: First, grab Transformers.

At its core, UEBA is a security approach that examines the behavior of both users (employees, contractors) and entities (devices, servers, applications) in your network. It uses analytics and machine learning to recognize routine activity, then identifies anomalies that could indicate a threat. These could include unexpected logins, large data transfers, or system access at odd hours. Instead of following static security rules, UEBA adjusts dynamically. It connects various data points across your environment, helping security teams understand when something suspicious may be occurring, even if it appears harmless in isolation. Legacy security solutions are typically reactive and rule-driven. They are effective against known threats but often miss new or subtle ones. UEBA fills this gap by …  ( 4 min )

Type casting is the process of converting a variable from one data type to another. Java is a strongly typed language, so type casting allows us to handle type mismatches in a controlled way. There are two types of type casting in Java: Widening Casting Narrowing Casting Widening Casting (Implicit) Order: Example: int i = 10; System.out.println(i); // Outputs 10 Narrowing Casting (Explicit) Example: double i = 9.78; System.out.println(i); // Outputs 9.78 Always be cautious with narrowing conversions — Java doesn’t throw a compile error, but you can lose precision. reference link: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/datatypes.html  ( 3 min )

🎀 The Problem Given an integer array nums and an integer val, remove all occurrences of val in nums in-place. The order of the elements may be changed. Then return the number of elements in nums which are not equal to val. Consider the number of elements in nums which are not equal to val be k, to get accepted, you need to do the following things: Change the array nums such that the first k elements of nums contain the elements which are not equal to val. The remaining elements of nums are not important as well as the size of nums. Example: Input: nums = [3,2,2,3], val = 3 ,] class Solution { public int removeElement(int[] nums, int val) { int i, j; int k = 0; Arrays.sort(nums); for (i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) { if (nums[i] == val) {…  ( 4 min )

How I Fixed the Mystery of Corrupted File Downloads from AWS S3 When your users report "corrupted files" but everything looks fine on your end Last month, I ran into one of those bugs that makes you question everything you think you know about web development. Users were complaining that downloaded files from our document management system were "corrupted" and wouldn't open. The twist? The files were perfectly fine in our AWS S3 bucket. Picture this: You're building an application where users upload important kyc documents—driver's licenses, bank statements, tax documents. Everything seems to work perfectly during testing. Files upload fine, they're stored securely in S3, and when you download them through your admin panel, they open without issues. Then the support tickets start rolling…  ( 6 min )

These days, the hype around vibe coding feels limitless. Tools that promise to turn your ideas into apps with nothing more than a chat prompt are everywhere. But back in March this year, I came across a tweet from a developer who discovered that one of those tools, Lovable, was exposing a user's Supabase API key. While it was a publishable API key, it had no permissions or restrictions, and the developer was able to access all the app's data without authentication, just by looking at the public build. This is not innovation. This is a security breach waiting to happen. This is what happens when people lean too hard on the vibe. They build software by instinct, skip fundamentals, and trust that the tool knows best. But when you are shipping products that handle real data, real users, and r…  ( 6 min )

Accessible Angular Forms are essential to ensure that all our users – including those with disabilities – can interact with our Angular App effectively. By implementing forms with Accessibility (A11y) in mind, we meet legal (EAA 2025 ♿) and ethical standards, and create a more inclusive experience. Accessible forms work better with screen readers, keyboard navigation, and assistive technologies – which not only helps users with impairments but also enhances the overall UX of our Angular Apps. In Angular, we have two types of forms: Template-driven Forms: These are simpler and more declarative, relying on Angular Directives to create forms. They are built around the NgModel directive and generally used for simple forms. As the name suggests, these are implemented in the template through att…  ( 7 min )

Potential customers often arrive at your pricing page during the final stage of their journey. By this point, they’re likely already interested in your offering and are evaluating pricing models before making a purchase decision.  That’s why your pricing page layout plays a critical role in communicating your plans and guiding users toward the right plan for their needs. But what exactly makes a SaaS pricing page effective? Interestingly, most SaaS pricing pages tend to follow a similar structure. This isn’t by accident, which is explained by Jakob’s Law: Users prefer familiar experiences. When your pricing page resembles layouts they’ve seen before, it builds trust and reduces friction. Deviating too much from these expectations can actually hurt your chances of conversion. In this blog, …  ( 7 min )

In the past few years, AI has taken a front seat in how we work, build, and even learn. While that’s exciting in many ways, there’s something no one is really talking about — the quiet decline of true learning, especially in the programming world. As someone who's learning and building daily, I've noticed a shift that worries me. Here’s what’s going on. Let’s say AI takes over most software jobs. That fear alone is already discouraging a lot of beginners. They wonder: “Why should I learn to code if AI can already do it better and faster?” The result? Fewer people are even trying to learn. And among those who do, many quit early. Not because they’re lazy — but because the beginning is genuinely hard. Most people don’t realize that learning to code takes time, patience, and frustration.

Explore Notte on Github A lightweight MCP server that gives LLMs full browser automation powers — from web scraping to form-filling and multi-step workflows. Large Language Models (LLMs) like Claude and tools like Cursor are powerful — but inherently limited.
